American Farm Bureau is promoting its Ag Safety Awareness Program this week.
Minnesota Farm Bureau promotion and education chair Steve Schoenfeld says fire safety is a timely theme with conditions being dry and windy in many areas.
“Just yesterday there was a wildfire burning northeast of Waseca (where Schoenfeld is from), and it consumed about 1,000 acres of wildlife and marsh area. And a couple structures were lost in this fire also.”
The other themes this week are animal safety, eye safety, the cost of safety equipment, and tick and Lyme Disease awareness.
