We've also conducted tractor safety seminars in agricultural locations around the state to help get the word out about tractor safety. Education can do a great deal to help prevent accidents on the farm. Our latest endeavor in this regard is the creation of a three-video instructional package designed to help farmers, ranchers and their employees to be more careful when operating a tractor, working in the vicinity of a tractor, or driving a tractor on roadways between fields. The videos run about 15 to 20 minutes each and are filmed in both English and Spanish. They are designed for farmers to use in assisting their employees to do their jobs safer.
Accidents can happen anytime, anywhere and to anyone.
That's one reason this three-video set should be obtained by farm operators here in California for viewing not only by themselves, but also by all of their employees. It's easy to get a copy for viewing. We have provided copies to every county Farm Bureau in the state, as well as each of our district State Fund offices. In addition, we have a limited supply available to Farm Bureau members. You may have heard some of the positive press generated lately about all the health benefits linked to avocado consumption.
