A stark lament urges caution for farmers, noting the cost of carelessness in the field or operating room. It argues one careless moment can end a livelihood, emphasizing the value of safety and the Ten Tractor Commandments to protect lives and livelihoods on farms.
A list of ten cautions for tractor operators detailing safety rules. Do not exceed speeds, prohibit riders, keep power takeoff shields and fenders in place, avoid using tractors for errands or cattle herding, use red flags and proper lights on highways, don’t pull loads with removed drawbars, add rear wheel weights before using front end loaders, avoid steep grades, back up banks safely, and prevent rollover on slopes and ditches.
Local businesses join the Farm Safety sponsorships program, listing sponsors such as B and H Firestone, Farm Bureau Insurance, Farmers Cashway Lumber, The Farmers Store Grain Elevator Murphy and Golden Sun Feeds, Hy-Vee, Loveless Supply, and several others. The initiative appears to be a community effort to promote farm safety practices across the region.
