It’s harvest season, and farmers are hard at work. Our community relies on their success, make this a safe harvest season. National Farm Safety and Health Week has been recognized for eighty years, since September 1944. Many injuries are preventable through education.  This week serves as a great opportunity to reflect and revisit the importance of safety on farms or ranches, as well as adopt new and innovative practices to promote the awareness of safety solutions year-round.
