This study aims to document the nature and extent of occupational stress in farming. A postal survey of farmers in the South West of England, was undertaken and results indicate high levels of occupational stress in farming families. 35% of respondents scored positively on the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) with female respondents showing significantly higher scores than males. A significant proportion of respondents also showed elevated levels of anxiety and depression as measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD). Indices of psychological distress were correlated with ill health and family problems though the most common sources of perceived stress were coping with new legislation, the amount of paper work and media criticism. People who reported a greater number of stressors scored higher on all 3 measure of psychological distress.
