Farmers Should Dress Safely When Doing Their Ag Chores.

You know when spring is here and fieldwork has picked up, so does the potential for farm accidents.

Approximately 5% of the accidents on the farm are livestock related, 19% come from machinery and about 36% involve tractors. Agriculture has the highest death rate of any industry in the United States. Approximately 1,600 deaths and 1,600,000 injuries occur each year due to farm work accidents. Do not blame the farm machinery or structures since the human element is usually the underlying cause of a farm accident.
