Kids Cannot

LEWISBURG (Union Co.)
There arc few issues in the agri
cultural industry that opposing
sides can agree on. but one topic
that merits overwhelming support
is protecting our most valuable
resources our children. Over
the past year 1 witnessed time and
again the quick, enthusiastic, and
generous response of communi
ties wanting to promote farm safe
ty for kids.
Union County is the most
recent area to recognize the need
for addresssing this critical con
cept On Saturday, June 1. 100
children participated in a Farm
Safety Day Camp for Kids at Mif
flinburg High School. The chil
dren attended interactive work
shops demonstrating safety tips
and hazard awareness in areas
such as tractors, pesticides, lawn
mowers, falls and injuries, lives
tock, fire. ATVs, farm machinery,
electricity, and first aid.
Providing a county-wide farm
safety camp is no easy task. Many
phone calls, meetings, letters and
miles of legwork are necessary for
the success of the program. Yet,
with members of Union County
volunteering time, energy and
finances, the organizational pro
cess was not difficult at all! Agri
businesses and health organiza
tions, public servants and private
citizens, farmers, teachers, parents
and grandparents all saw a need
and rose to the challenge. Our
children need to learn to see, to
realize that farms are great places
to live but farms can also be
dangerous. At the Day Camp I
watched the children having fun
while learning lifesaving informa
tion. The demonstrators were jok
ing, yet serious. Any bystander
could sense the undercurrent of
excitement running through the
day. The kids were taking respon
sibility for their own well-being.
They were sowing the seeds of
safety for themselves. Most
importantly, positive role models
from their own community were
saying, “We care about what hap
pens to you, we support safe farm
practices, we want you to grow up
healthy and happy on your farm.”
A handful of concerned people
formed a Farm Safety Committee.
The committee mushroomed into
30-plus volunteers. The volun
teers snowballed into more than
30 community sponsors. Fifty
campers doubled to 100 campers,
and then tripled to include SO
parents.

Farm Safety For Kids program,
