The Hill Farmer

THE FARMING COMMUNITY NETWORK Stand: 220

This short film highlights the vital role of support organisations and charities in helping farmers during challenging times and supporting mental health and wellbeing.

The film, titled ‘The Hill Farmer’, features Oliver Edwards, a well-known Exmoor farmer, telling his story of dealing with pressures on the farm at the same time as battling a diagnosis of colon cancer. This took an enormous toll on Oliver’s mental health, and he had suicidal thoughts.

Initially Oliver found getting help difficult, as he shut himself off from others and didn’t want to burden those around him. Thankfully, his diagnosis served as a ‘wake-up call’, which motivated him to ask for help.
