Farm safety week urges careful work habits nationwide
Farm safety week proclaimed by President Johnson and endorsed by farm and health officials kicks off with a push to cut rural accidents. The piece notes 8,000 rural deaths last year and 800,000 injuries, with Iowa reporting 389 farm fatalities in 1964. It emphasizes safety councils, inspections, and safer handling of machinery, chemicals, and home hazards, plus the merging trend among farm co-ops to reduce wasteful duplication.
