The Minnesota Rural Letter Carriers' Association and 4-H clubs launch the 4H RFD Rural Roads Safety Program to cut rural road accidents and fatalities. County safety officers will present programs using slides, and each carrier’s hazard sheet will guide local 4 H club actions to fix or flag danger spots on county roads. The program, backed by the University of Minnesota Agricultural Extension Service and the Minneapolis Region Post Office, targets blind curves, narrow roads, and obscured driveways as key risks.

Radcliffe argues farmers have been ignored since 1953 noting per farm investments rose from 6000 to 60000 while returns fell 40 percent and rural poverty remains high.
