Rising stress, mental health issues, and suicide rates among farmers highlight the need to understand factors influencing their job satisfaction. Farming presents distinct challenges with its unique mix of positive and negative characteristics. This study utilized dual‐factor theory to investigate how various factors, such as economic dynamics, farm financial health, stewardship views, experience with extreme weather, and climate change concerns, influence farmers' job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Data from a 2020 survey of Iowa farmers were analyzed using ordinal logistic regression. Financial health, stewardship motivations, and perceived adequacy of conservation practices emerged as significant predictors of both job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Farmers' extreme weather events experiences were positively associated with job satisfaction, indicating successful coping enhances contentment. Conversely, climate change concern was negatively associated with job satisfaction. As a revenue protection strategy, faith in crop insurance was negatively related to job dissatisfaction. In summary, besides the anticipated positive impact of farm financial health, the findings show that job satisfaction in farming is linked to stewardship motivations and perceived adequacy of conservation practices on the farm. The results suggest an opening for policies and programs aligning financial and conservation goals, potentially enhancing long‐term farmer well‐being and sustainable agricultural practices.

对土地有利的事情对农民也有利：调查与保护相关的变量作为农民工作满意度的预测因素☆


农民日益增加的压力、心理健康问题和自杀率凸显了了解影响他们工作满意度的因素的必要性。农业以其独特的积极和消极特征组合带来了独特的挑战。本研究利用双因素理论来调查经济动态、农场财务健康、管理观点、极端天气经历和气候变化担忧等各种因素如何影响农民的工作满意度和不满程度。使用序数逻辑回归分析了 2020 年爱荷华州农民调查的数据。财务健康、管理动机和保护实践的充分性被认为是工作满意度和不满意的重要预测因素。农民的极端天气事件经历与工作满意度呈正相关，表明成功的应对可以提高满意度。相反，对气候变化的担忧与工作满意度呈负相关。作为一种收入保护策略，对农作物保险的信心与工作满意度呈负相关。总之，除了农场财务健康的预期积极影响外，研究结果表明，农业工作满意度与管理动机和农场保护措施的充分性有关。研究结果表明，调整财政和保护目标的政策和计划有机会，有可能提高农民的长期福祉和可持续农业实践。
