In the UK it's sheep farming. The highest rate of suicides at one point was with Sheep farmers. Conspiracy theorists suggested it was the chemicals in sheep dip sending them spiralling into depression.

Personally I think it's more likely the prospect of slogging your guts out every day of the year and twice as hard during lambing, for very little return.
