Fred Morgan was already deep in debt from rebuilding his milking barn after a fire when milk prices plunged in 2015. Fred, 50, saw no way to save the dairy farm in central New York State that he took over as a teenager. With the farm operating at a loss and facing foreclosure, he believed his only solution was his $150,000 life insurance policy. He said he planned on killing himself so his family could receive the payout. “I’d sacrifice my life so my family could keep the farm,” he said. His wife, Judy, persuaded him otherwise. But Fred was hardly alone in his suicide plan. There has been a spate of suicides in New York State as the dairy industry has nose-dived. While the industry nationwide is in the grips of an economic crisis, the picture is particularly bleak in New York, where dairy sales represent about half of total farm sales every year. The Morgans, unable to repay 6 bank loans and debts to neighbors and suppliers, declared bankruptcy, restructured their finances to help pay off debts and have been seeing increased revenue after switching to producing organic milk. The family also sought out the counsel NY FarmNet, a leading farm support group. @kholoodeid took this photo of Fred’s son, Cody Morgan, 23, and his grandson, Tucker Bailey, 4, at the family's dairy farm in Eaton, New York.
