Each year, National Farm Safety and Health Week (NFSHW) shines a spotlight on the unique health and safety challenges faced by farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers. It’s more than just a reminder, it’s a call to action for everyone in agriculture to make safety a daily priority.
Farming is one of the most rewarding yet high-risk industries. Long hours, heavy machinery, chemicals, and unpredictable conditions can all take a toll. Not only physically, but mentally as well. That’s why NFSHW focuses on both safe farming practices and the overall well-being of those who feed our communities.
