A Harvest of Safety and Health
The National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS) is dedicated to preventing
illnesses, injuries, and deaths among farmers and ranchers, agricultural and horticultural
workers, their families, and their employees. In 1997, we opened NECAS with Northeast
Iowa Community College. NECAS is the only organization with hands-on farm equipment
safety training center. The facility also houses classrooms and a library and resource
center.
Our concern for safety in rural areas goes beyond farms and ranches. The need for
our services spreads from citrus groves in the South to vineyards in the West. It
covers cattle ranches in Wyoming, fisheries in Maine, and thousands of ventures
in between.
