Another choir member, Andy Fussell, from Rode near Frome in Somerset, said the farming community was “supposed to be strong”.
“We do work a lot of hours on our own… and a lot of time to think of some thoughts.
“Pressures with regards to money, family, work, weather.
“It’s no shame to talk, no embarrassment. Get it off your chest.”
Choir member Sally Ann-Spence, a farmer from just outside Swindon in Wiltshire, said: “I’m still pinching myself, it’s just incredible.
“It’s been life-changing already because we’ve made such an amazing choir family.
“We’ve all been affected by mental health in the industry. We’ve lost friends and family members. It’s a really big, emotional rollercoaster.”
