Our Farm Youth Farm Safety Day Camp. Youth experienced first-hand potential safety hazards found on the farm. The Cooperative Extension Service held a workshop on computerized record keeping and financial management for farm and ranch families. The one day hands-on workshop provided the participants with experience and knowledge in setting up and operating their own individualized system to help manage their operations.
