Designates May 29, 2025, as "Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day" and asks the public to observe the day to promote mental well‑being among agricultural producers and workers. It recognizes higher suicide rates among farmers and farmworkers, calls out common stressors in agriculture (weather, labor, succession, market prices), and points to the USDA Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network as a resource.
The resolution is a symbolic, awareness-raising measure: it encourages activities to reduce stigma and support mental health in farming communities but does not create new programs, funding, or regulatory requirements.
Passed/agreed to in Senate: Resolution agreed to in Senate without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent.
