In the past two years, there have been several grain bin entrapments in the Midwest getting tips on ways to avoid trouble could pay off for your farm. In addition, there will be information about grain bin safety and ways to prevent falls on the farm. “We’ll have mental health support resources available for visitors it’s a growing issue in agriculture,” Cheyney says. On the safety education side, visitors will have the chance to connect with a range of support services. And there will be other demonstrations to check out, providing some hands-on insights into key safety and farm health topics. AgrAbility representatives will be demonstrating a tractor lift system that can help a farmer get into the cab to do farm work. In addition, AgrAbility will be on hand to show ways equipment can be modified to make sure farmers can keep at it if tragedy occurs. “We’ll have an ATV Tilt Table in the tent showing what can happen if you get at the wrong angle with a machine,” Cheyney says. You can find all of these services on the north end of the northeast quadrant at 37N. This show offers the chance to reach so many more people.”Ĭheyney has put together a comprehensive plan for the Health and Safety Tent focused on demonstrations, safety education and more. “In my job, I do a lot of in-person outreach and education. “I like the idea of having a lot of this health and safety education all in one place for people,” says Marsha Cheyney, outreach coordinator for the Great Plains Center for Ag Health, based in Iowa City.
You’ll have that chance at the Health and Safety Tent.
How do you feel? Is that a question you’ve asked yourself lately? When you’re visiting the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, perhaps getting an answer from a third party could be helpful.
