(Time:
60)
It's
almost unthinkable: You're grinding feed, slip on mud that
hasn't yet frozen and fall into the unguarded power take-off.
No one's home, except your 8-year-old daughter, who finally
hears your calls.
Does
she know what to do? Can she dial "9-1-1" and give clear directions
to your farm? Does she even know how to turn off the tractor
engine?
Sometimes
the unthinkable does happen. And you and your family need
to know what to do. Spend a few evenings this winter talking
about emergency plans. Enroll in a first aid class. Share
ideas and would-be scenarios.
Call
your local Iowa State University Extension office, or ask
for a copy of a new Safe Farm publication about emergency
response for farm accidents.
This
message brought to you by SAFE FARM, ISU Extension's program
making Iowa farms a safer place to work and live.
