All stress symptoms but two (alcohol use and lack of com- munication) had increased over the last five years. Men- tal fatigue and frustration showed the highest increases; guilt the least. Oh the positive side, women felt they get lots of family and community support. Emo- tional support comes most of all from the husbands, while professional help provided the least support and the least degree of satisfaction. Those who had treatment for stress-related illness reported it included drugs (58 percent); counselling (17 per- cent ) or both (25 percent ).

Despite stress that's finan- cially related. only 11 percent of the women surveyed want to leave the farm. Most want to stay because they value country living'; in- dependence; rural values and producing something.
