The Farmers First Act of 2025 aims to strengthen and extend the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network (FRSAN), a program designed to support the mental health of agricultural workers. This legislation reauthorizes FRSAN, significantly increasing its annual funding from $10 million to $15 million for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2030 . Key provisions include expanding the network's services to explicitly cover crisis lines , ensuring immediate support for those in distress. Furthermore, the bill empowers FRSAN grant recipients to establish formal referral relationships with a range of healthcare providers, including certified community behavioral health clinics, rural health clinics, and critical access hospitals. This enhancement ensures that farmers and ranchers have improved access to comprehensive mental health and substance use treatments and supports.
