Introducing the Mind Your Melon Farmer Wellness Study

Mind Your Melon has been built upon a vision to proactively approach the mental health and wellbeing of farmers and ranchers throughout our agricultural industry. We have been very open about the fact we are looking for solutions and tools in, relatively, uncharted territory.

Through our advocacy efforts at various levels, especially nationally and internationally, we have been reminded that we measure what matters. And, to this point, we have not had great measures of things like farm stress, farmer suicide, and farmer wellbeing.

The Mind Your Melon Farmer Wellbeing Study is Florida’s opportunity to measure something that matters within our industry.

You matter. Your family matters. Florida agriculture matters.

Our ability to advocate on this topic stems from having the right stories to share. This survey will provide an opportunity for each of you to share your own perspective based on your personal experiences. 

To be clear, this will not be a quick, simple survey. Be prepared to spend 10 to 15 minutes reading, reflecting, and answering honestly. It is completely anonymous and voluntary.

Meaningful resources begin with meaningful research. We humbly ask for your participation to help provide the information needed to impact the wellbeing of our industry members, now and for generations to come.
