Two years ago, Duncan Maclennan, a 29-year-old farm worker from Turriff, faced a critical moment as he battled depression and the demands of his job. Attempting to take his own life, he was saved thanks to the quick action of his girlfriend, who found him unconscious at home. This close call continues to haunt him, highlighting the concerning trend of high suicide rates among farm workers.

According to 2021 statistics from the Office for National Statistics and Public Health Scotland, male farm workers in the UK have a suicide rate three times higher than the national average, with an alarming three suicides each week in the agricultural sector. Factors such as financial strain, long hours, isolation, and limited social interaction contribute to this grim reality.

Responding to this crisis, the Scottish charity RSABI is dedicated to improving mental health support in the agricultural community. Initiatives, including the KeepTalking campaign and partnerships with mental health organizations, aim to encourage open dialogue about mental health issues. Duncan, who has become an advocate for mental health after his experience, believes that talking about struggles plays a vital role in recovery, emphasizing the importance of community support in fighting the stigma surrounding suicide.
