TALK MORE. ASK MORE. LISTEN MORE.
The Do More Agriculture Foundation is a national voice helping you champion mental health in Canadian agriculture. Those working in the agriculture industry are vulnerable to mental health challenges, with amongst the highest suicide rates of any industry. We collaborate and connect with courage and confidence to help you change lives.
How can you Do More? It starts here: Talk More, Ask More and Listen More. Together, we cultivate a culture of wellbeing.

WHAT’S NEW
WHY DOES DO MORE AG EXIST?
The Do More Agriculture Foundation (Do More Ag) was started by farmers who said: we need to Do More to shine a light on mental health in agriculture.
Asking for help is not easy. There is a strong culture that pushes health to the sidelines: There is work to do. We don’t have time for that. Just tough it out.
When “tough it out” isn’t working, you need something that does.
Need
Rural communities where farmers live often have poor access to mental health supports. We help you navigate a range of national, provincial, and local supports that understand agriculture, ensure privacy, and help you to thrive.
Need
We all have a role to play. We help you navigate the path forward: get help that works for you, grow your confidence for mental health conversations, and help you champion a culture of wellbeing.
Need
Mental health challenges, mental injury, and mental illness affect agriculture from the farmgate to the boardroom. We help you find information, education, and support to help make a difference on your farm, in your business, and in your community.
" YOU ARE NOT ALONE. IT IS MORE THAN OK TO ASK FOR HELP. THERE IS HOPE AND THERE IS RELIEF.
— Gerry Friesen, The Recovering Farmer
