Safety Education
Safety Programs
The agriculture industry is comprised of some of the most dangerous jobs known to man. Those who work in the agriculture industry tend to begin working at an earlier age, keep working later in life, work longer hours than most and work around more dangerous equipment. The Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation’s Safety Department offers an array of safety education programs to various age groups in an effort to lower the rising injury rate in the agriculture industry.
