farm safety
Rural hazard prevention
Farm safety refers to practices and precautions that prevent injuries and deaths in agricultural settings.
Farms present hazards uncommon elsewhere—heavy machinery, livestock, chemicals, grain storage, and remote locations where help is distant.
The county extension office runs farm safety workshops each spring.
Training programs often target children, who face particular risks around equipment and animals.
