Save Our Farm Youth (SOFY) The goal of the Save Our Farm Youth (SOFY) Day Camp program is to reduce the incidence of agriculture-related injuries, illness and deaths by increasing the awareness of the potential dangers associated with specific farm and ranch practices. Day camps are designed to teach basic safety practices to farm and urban youth. Volunteers from local communities plan and conduct the day camps.
