This week is National Farm Safety & Health Week & this years theme is Every Farmer Counts because well every farmer does count! Farm Safety & Health Week takes place every year during the third week of September to align with farmers heading out to their fields to get their crops in for the year! Unfortunately it is also this time of year when most farm accidents happen as well. On average 400-500 farmers are killed & 30% of farmers are injured every year, which means the agricultural sector is the most dangerous in America!
While every year we should acknowledge our farmers, this year more than ever we should be celebrating them. The past few years, especially in Nebraska & Iowa, our farmers have experienced hardship after hardship, with flooding, the pandemic, & the Midwest Derecho, farming has come with its share of challenges. Through it all though our farmers have continued to show up & work hard to provide the American people with the food & supplies they need. So this week let's make farmers safety & health our priority!
All you farmers make sure you're staying safe & thank you for all you do! Please go out & thank a farmer this week!!
