When the weather turns hot, many farmers run the risk of heat exhaustion and potential accidents.

The National Safety Council advises you to get extra rest when the heat is on. After eating a healthy lunch, take time to relax. Drink non-alcoholic fluids to keep fatigue in check.

Follow these safety guidelines and you won't get burned.
