Farm safety is a growing concern for everyone, and rightfully so. Consistently, farm accidents create media headlines that no one ever wants to read.
Organizers at Manitoba Ag Days 2018 consider attendees and patrons as their community and no one wants to see a member of your community hurt. As such, Manitoba Ag Days organizers have developed a key component of their show around farm safety.
This year, 10 farm safety features will be profiled at the Manitoba Ag Days. Here are some of the highlights:
