Let’s clear the checklist:


This is just the way it is.
Maybe true. But, opening up could clear way for you to get back to solving the way you know how.

Everybody feels this way sometimes.
True also. Even more reason to not feel like you’re weak for asking for an ear.

If I just stay busy, I can get through this.
One foot in front of the other won’t walk you away from your head - and that’s where you’re at - so let’s clear it out.

I was taught we solve our own problems.
We get this. But you call for service when the combine is down - why are you different?

I don’t have time for self-care.
Schedule when it fits, and never leave your truck / tractor to take the call.

Nobody will really understand this.
We only pair you with Farm Dog approved (farmer-understanding) providers.

It’s too expensive.
We’re covering the first 6 sessions.

It’s too late now. Things are too big a mess to fix.
If you walked away from your combine in the field, what would the neighbors say? You’re the most valuable asset to your operation, don’t walk away from fixing it - no matter how bad it seems.

Everybody knows each other’s business around here.
We’re connecting you with people in Iowa, but not from next door. Confidentiality aside, we’re not going to run into you at Casey’s.

Maybe it will get better by itself.
You call the vet and mechanic when you need them - everything, and everyone, needs a check-up now and then. We’re making it easy, you just have to take the first step - click next.

Farmers deserve better support
Agriculture asks a lot of the people who keep it running. Stress and uncertainty are part of the job. But carrying those things doesn't have to be.
Farm Dog was created to provide easy and free access for farmers and their families to connect with confidential support from people who understand the realities of this life.
