New Farm Safety Resources Available Online

A new farm-related educational resource has been added to a national Cooperative Extension Service website that offers everyone from beginning farmers to veteran growers answers to hundreds of farm-related safety and health questions.

 

The easy-to-navigate format features information from a consortium of 74 land-grant universities. The website provides tips on farm safety and health issues ranging from grain bin entrapments to safe handling of beef cattle. Articles on the site cover a range of topics including safety recommendations when baling and handling big round hay bales; confined-space hazards and gas monitoring of manure pit gases; youth ATV safety; and hearing loss.
