UNCERTAIN FUTURE

Farmers in rural communities often have high demanding jobs while being uncertain about the future. Rural farmers may also have limited access to mental health services, which can make it difficult for these farmers to receive help. Being a small business owner is a huge risk. These farmers have many challenges such as supply, demand, weather, and just the fact that the future is unknown for them. These farmers are filled with multiple stressors throughout one day. They are filled with long hours, social isolation, decreasing market prices, trade policies, thinking about the upcoming weather and economic difficulties.

Farmers often do not take care of their own body because of the long hours and therefore that results in stress. Farmers will often be sick or have hurt their body and they do not take the time that they need to heal and that can hurt their mental health. Often in farmers you will see them struggling with social isolation and that is because of their day to day tasks they are by themselves, from feeding livestock, working in the field, and basic maintenance on farm equipment.

A poll was conducted showing that 61 percent of farmers struggle with mental health and that farmers experience mental health issues more often than the normal population. According to the American Farm Bureau Survey “a strong majority of farmers/farmworkers think financial issues (91%), fear of losing the farm (87%), and farm or business problems (88%) impact the mental health of farmers”. We all know multiple farmers so we all need to talk to them and make sure that they are happy and healthy. We can also advocate for these farmers because some people do not realize how hard it is to be a farmer. There is also a farmer hot line number that can be called when a farmer is struggling with their mental health. They will then be directed to a person who can help them through these hard times.

FAMILY VALUES

When you sit at the dinner table with your family, have you ever thought about where the food you’re eating originated? Small-scale family farms represent 89% of U.S farms. These small farms help provide for communities such as the one that I live in. Farmers raise and grow all different types of food that every American family consumes on a daily basis. These farmers also provide for their families as well so that all of them can sit down at their dinner tables with their families as well. Farmers are behind the scenes of some of our core memories around the dinner table, at least for me they are. Next time you sit down at the table with your family to enjoy their company and dinner, don’t forget to thank a farmer.

Hello neighbors and friends,

I am Jan L. Roberts and I am running as a write in candidate for Gallatin City Mayor. This letter is to inform you about who I am and why I am running and what my focus will be. First, I have always been a conservative and I want to be active in the role as Mayor. I would like to see improvements in several areas.

Bio: I come from a Military family starting with two of my Great-Grandfathers in the Civil War, grandfather in WWII, many uncl es as well, my Father 20 years in the U.S. Air Force (Korean Vet) and myself U.S. Air Force (Vietnam Era). I have a Son in the U.S. Navy to retire in 3-4 years, Senior Master Chief. I love the United States. I am a 100% disabled Veteran. My wife, Audrey, and I have seven children, 6 girls and 1 son.

I have lived in many areas of the World and have been an entrepreneur for many years until retirement. I have owned an automotive establishment, restaurants, management in several others before returning to the University to follow studies in Medicine and Nursing. After Graduation I worked at several Medical Facilities. I started a Hospice Agency for a Hospital and became the Department head. In the next few years, I became unhappy not being able to do what I wanted, to help people, so I quit to never work for a company again that always told me, no you can’t do that.

So, I went into competition with the local hospital and the Hospice I created. I became the State Hospice Organization President. My Hospice was very successful, I never turned anyone away and never hurt for doing it. In fact, I started a Home Health Agency, Durable Medical Equipment Company and a Dialysis Center. I Built the Dialysis Center myself.

A few years passed and it was good, then things changed and I closed the agencies, didn’t want to sell them because I knew what I had created. So, I gave all my equipment away to agencies that needed it.

We ended up moving to Europe for nine years and assisted the medical agencies there to learn what Terminal Care really meant in the home. Trained in areas they had never seen. One of the most interesting things is that the Physicians began to accept me and recognize me as a colleague. A great nine years. It was then time to return to retirement and Grandchildren.

So why do I want to be Mayor of Gallatin? I will make a list.

• To serve and polish this rough diamond.

• Bring youth into active meaningful service.

• Help establish a reason to stay or come back.

• To prevent Gallatin from becoming Breckenridge, Kingston.

• Create a better image.

• Improve the entire city, not just Main Street.

• Increase prosperity.

• Work with business and non-business alike.

• Clean up the city.

• Be open and really transparent!

and Jan Roberts
