In this podcast, Mat Habrock of the Nebraska Corn Growers Association provides a few safety messages geared towards this busy harvest season.He notes the tremendous harvest weather we've had and how different conditions are this year compared to last. A year ago at this time we were talking about having turkey dinner in the combine. Then Christmas dinner, too
Habrock encourages farmers to take a break from time to time, or stretch your legs, call a friend or family member. "If you’re into social media, take a break and update your farm’s Facebook page, shoot a quick video, send a tweet or do whatever you do to help educate others about farming and harvest," he said.
He also reminds us that farm safety week this year focused on ATV safety. "While these tools – yes, tools – are a great help around the farm, they are also one of the leading causes of injuries and fatalities. Please ride safe and teach others how to do the same," Habrock said.
