Make 2012 harvest a safe one
Illinois saw an overall reduction in farm-related fatalities last year. An accident-free harvest season should be everyone’s goal.
Working on Illinois farms was a safer proposition in 2011, according to a survey by Country Financial.
While 20 people lost their lives in farm-related accidents last year, that number is quite a decline from the 39 deaths in 2010.
During National Farm Safety and Health Week, a review of last year’s improved statistics is in order.
