Keeping operators safe on the farm

Agriculture is one of the most hazardous industries in the U.S. affecting a wide demographic. The varied backgrounds of audience groups is reflective of the fact that agriculture does not have occupational restraints like other industries, especially regarding workforce age, competency level, and certain regulatory practices. Teaching injury prevention practices in this environment requires a specific approach. FABE extension educators strive to provide educational resources, demonstrations, and programs that promote safety in all areas of agriculture.
