Farming next to mining is still one of the most hazardous occupations and many times fatal accidents involve more experienced farmers, and family members. The Annual Ag Safety Awareness Day is planned for Wednesday, March 14th in Hays at the KSU Ag Research Center from 8:45 a.m. to 2:35 p.m.
Two farmers will be sharing their real life story of how a farming accident has affected them and their families. Some of the other topics will be: farm safety – what we see out there (KS. Highway Patrol), electrical and natural gas safety, and anhydrous ammonia hazards.
A free noon meal is provided, all interested people are invited to attend the entire day or part of the day’s program. If needing further information contact the Ellis County Farm Bureau at 785-628-2831.
