Good farming means putting safety first
Val Farmer, a Rapid City clinical psychologist, highlights farm accident data and stories from the 1980s to stress safety. He notes 300 child deaths and 23,500 injuries annually from farm incidents, plus 1,600 adult deaths and 160,000 disabling injuries. He argues economics and family values hinder safety upgrades and supervision on family farms.
