Farm Safety and Rural Aging Highlight Senate Hearing
In Des Moines older farmers, especially those 59 to 75, account for high farm fatalities amid economic need. Iowa officials cite tractor roll bar research as deaths from tipping declined. National concerns include price stability and farm program recommendations discussed in Washington by the National Corn Growers Association led by Goeppinger. They urge a permanent farm program tied to domestic and foreign needs with adjusted pricing around $1.25 to $1.30 per bushel. The report also notes ongoing work on safety and a controversial TV show listing is included.
