All rights reserved. Farms are great places for children to play and work. But they can also be places where kids are injured or even killed.
Research shows that children are much more likely than adults to be injured working on the farm.
In Minnesota alone, over 80 children were killed in farming accidents in the past ten years. If you're concerned about the safety of farm kids in your community, this pamphlet will outline how you can organize and run a safety day camp. Eight Minnesota kids die each year in farm accidents. Nearly 300 American children are killed in farming accidents each year. Thousands more are injured and maimed.
