Although farmers are used to working alone, some may experience feelings of "ruckus and uncertainty" during the Covid-19 lockdown, says founder of the Will to Live charity, Elle Perriam.
"Farmers already live in isolation but I suppose with the pandemic it's a lot different. So we work isolated most
of the time but in the weekends we can release and go and see our buddies and do an activity. Whereas now we're kind of stuck on the farm more than ever," Perriam told The Country's Jamie Mackay.
Other examples of issues that could make people irritable were, being in a household with a lot of people, anxiety over job securit,y or worrying about friends and family, said Perriam.
