It’s hard to believe that this is our third annual Mind Your Head campaign but, following the past two campaigns in 2018 and 2019, noise around mental health in the farming industry is thankfully growing and people are starting recognise the impact of this issue on the industry.
Mental health is one of the biggest areas of concern for businesses today and farming is no different. As the Farm Safety Foundation, we are raising awareness of the physical and mental wellbeing of our farmers all year round but this year, we want people to recognise how the job can, and does, impact on the wellbeing of farmers and their families and how poor mental health can have a direct and deadly impact on the job.
Please take two minutes to watch “The Last Word” – our brand new social media film and think about how many times you have gone to work with your mind firmly somewhere else…
Think about what risks you are taking.
Think about what an accident could mean for you and those you love; and
Think about who would fill your boots if you don’t Mind Your Head?

And a special word of thanks to Alice and Rob and the H.G.Heath & Sons at Newbridges Farm, Blackwell for welcoming us onto your fabulous farm on a cold and damp January Friday to film this year’s clip.
We are always surprised and delighted at the generosity of our farming community and feel very humbled to be serving you
