Farm Progress
Each year since 1944, the third week of September has been recognized as National Farm Safety and Health Week. This recognition has been an annual promotion initiated by the National Safety Council and has been proclaimed as such by each sitting U.S. president since Franklin Roosevelt signed the first document.
National Farm Safety and Health Week is Sept. 18-24. The theme this year is “Prepare. Prevent. Protect.”
