More Farm and Ranch Safety Reminders 

We’re approaching one of the busiest times of the year for farmers and ranchers alike, and promoting a safe working environment for those in agriculture is especially important, as people are more stressed and rushed. Angie Johnson of NDSU Farm Safety shares some safety reminders for those ranchers working with livestock this fall. 

Johnson says it’s also important for farmers and ranchers alike to prioritize sleep and rest over the coming weeks, as not doing so leads to a bigger risk of injury. 

Finally with the increased traffic on our roads, Johnson reminds general motorists, and farm  machine operators to share the road and to be extra cautious.
