Abstract
I recently read an article from the Harvard Business Review titled “That Discomfort You’re Feeling Is Grief.” It’s filed under the category of “Stress” in their archives. Thinking about the stress farmers face every day it seemed pertinent to share this new form of stress that is descending on farm families as they cope with the realities of a global pandemic. Coronavirus has resulted in ‘stay-at-home’ mandates and social distancing. Coronavirus has left us feeling isolated and uncertain.
