FARM FIRST SERVICES
Farm First provides resources, support and counseling to help farmers resolve issues that cause stress.
Any farm owner and their family members have automatic and immediate access to
confidential help with any personal or work-related issue.
Our staff of licensed counselors and agricultural resource specialists partner with farmers to solve
problems using a proactive, teamed approach. Throughout the past decade, we’ve learned a great deal about how to truly help farmers. Most importantly, our farmers have taught us how to speak their language and meet them where they’re at – often literally – and Farm First has provided individual counseling and critical resources along the entire spectrum of health.
If it's on your mind, we can help.
Services and benefits:
• Resources, strategic solutions, and personal support for farmers and agricultural operations

If you need to talk to someone directly, we are here to listen. All farmers deserve equal access to services and resources - so what does that look like in real life?
