Letters: Mental health in farming - 'I recognise so many of the pressures discussed and we must all pull together despite the numerous challenges'

I just wanted to thank you for the excellent FG interview with Adam Henson which I have just watched.

It was spot on, and you handled such a difficult subject so well.

A busy working Christmas meant I have only just got round to it, but I am glad I did.

I recognise so many of the pressures discussed and we must all pull together despite the numerous challenges.

Thanks again; much appreciated from a wet Wiltshire.

Salisbury farmer, Richard Carter.
