Growing up on a farm has many benefits for children, but farms can also be dangerous. Across the country, over 30 children are seriously injured in agriculture-related incidents every day, and a child is fatally injured on the farm once every three days. Take an active role to keep children safe on the farm by educating them about the risks, thoroughly training them for age-appropriate tasks, providing personal protective equipment, and maintaining adequate supervision.
