Be Careful With
Farm Machinery
During the spring farmers
operating-machinery often
give chilren rides. It’s very
dangerous, says the Farm
and Home Safety Committee
at The Pennsylvania State
University. Children can be
killed and injured in tractor
or other farm machinery
accidents. It may make the
children unhappy but the
risk of letting them ride is
too great to take.
