National Farm Safety Week starts September 19th

The National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS) is dedicated to preventing illnesses, injuries, and deaths among farmers and ranchers, agricultural and horticultural workers, their families, and their employees. In 1997, NECAS opened on the Northeast Iowa Community College Peosta Campus. This is the only organization with hands-on farm equipment safety training center. The facility also houses classrooms and a library and resource center.

Our concern for safety in rural areas goes beyond farms and ranches. The need for services spreads from citrus groves in the South to vineyards in the West. It covers cattle ranches in Wyoming, fisheries in Maine, and thousands of ventures in between. Visit the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety web site here.
