Farm Progress
The agriculture industry has high rates of fatalities and serious injuries, and ranks as one of the most dangerous professions in the United States, according to the USDA.
Angie Johnson, North Dakota State University Extension agent and NDSU Extension farm and ranch safety coordinator, says that most on-farm injuries can be prevented if by slowing down and shifting focus from “I need to get the job done at all costs” to “I need to get the job done safely so I can go home each night to my loved ones and continue my passion of farming.”
