Gay farmers helpline in Cheshire in 'high demand'
"There's the pressure in the farming community to get married and produce an heir, so a lot [have done that and] now feel trapped.
"When they are looking for gay areas, they are not at home down Canal Avenue, they are at place in the countryside.
"So there are huge isolation problems."
Mr Ineson said that the farmers were having to deal with these issues on top of depression, which he said was "an industrial disease for the farming community".
He said that the service was a useful tool to help the farmers "look at the options" present to them.
"We listen, it's as simple as that," he said.
"We don't seize over the farm, we don't take over the marriage; we help them to look at the options that are around and then they determine which option they're going for."
Mr Ineson said that while he hoped to to expand the service, he was aware he was "fishing in an exceedingly small pool" when it came to evidence suitable volunteers.

Always gay, always disabled - block dividing my identities
Treated as an outsider by minority groups
Some people assume that one minority collective is more likely to be accepting of another. This is because both face challenges around access, policy, and social image. Unfortunately, I was treated as an outsider due to my intersectionality. This even happened within assist groups and at identity-specific events.
A disability group treated me poorly because of my sexuality. People linked to a church ran the group, and they would not listen to any issues I had with my companion or community. They treated my impairment as an utterly isolated challenge. But my identities are multifaceted and inextricable.
I later joined a gay group using their develop and got a phone summon saying it was not suitable for me. They stated that they did not run events that were accessible to disabled people.
Changing the intersectional experience
I am now in a position where I can push for more significant change. I was able to support a young autistic dude to access a gay coffee morning. T
