Farming is more than a job. It's a way of life. But the pressures of weather, finances, markets and long hours can take a serious toll on mental health.

Research shows that farmers and agricultural workers face a significantly higher risk of su***de than the general population, with some estimates indicating rates are 3 to 3.5 times higher.

During Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, take a moment to check in with the farmers, farmworkers and family members in your life. Watch this video to learn some of the warning signs of stress and mental health struggles that may be especially common in farm families, and what you can do to support someone who may be struggling.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or having thoughts of su***de, call or text 988 anytime to reach the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Trained counselors are available 24/7 to provide free, confidential support.

You are not alone. Help is always available.

Labor Day marks the unofficial transition from summer to fall in the garden, making now the perfect time to start preparing for the next season. MU Extension horticulturist David Trinklein recommends focusing on a few key tasks to keep your garden productive and healthy.

◾Plant cool-season favorites like lettuce, spinach, kale, broccoli and radishes.
◾Divide overcrowded perennials, including hostas, irises and daylilies.
◾Seed or overseed cool-season lawns and fertilize established turf.
◾Begin fall cleanup by removing dead plant material that can harbor pests and diseases.

A little effort now can help set the stage for a healthier garden and landscape next spring.

A new soybean pest has been confirmed in Missouri for the second time.

MU Extension state crops entomologist Ivair Valmorbida confirmed the latest finding of the soybean tentiform leafminer in Macon County on Aug. 19. First detected in Missouri in 2025, this emerging pest feeds inside soybean leaves, creating distinctive "mines" that can reduce leaf area.

Farmers are encouraged to scout soybean fields, especially along field edges near wooded areas, and contact their local MU Extension agronomist if they suspect soybean tentiform leafminer activity. Researchers are continuing to study the insect's distribution and potential impact on soybean production.
