Survey about Farmer Stress
Cultivemos is a Cooperative Extension Regional Cohort and in the Northeast Region we are working diligently to help alleviate stress and burnout in the agricultural industry. To best understand what materials and resources would be most beneficial for industry members we are conducting a survey.
There are not currently a lot of resources in this space in New Jersey, so it is important that NJ is represented in this survey, please take a minute to complete it. You may be entered to win a $50 gift card for completing the survey. Also enclosed is a fact sheet about managing stress and burnout.

As state and federal animal health officials continue to monitor and assess the situation involving Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) detections in dairy cattle (referred to as Bovine Influenza A Virus (BIAV) according to the American Association of Bovine Practitioners), they have provided additional information and guidance. There are still no similar cases reported or detected in New Jersey, but cattle farmers and veterinarians in the state are encouraged to remain updated on new recommendations.
