URBANA, Ill. Spring is characterized by a fury of activity on farms. In the rush to get crops in the ground, farmers may not have safety and health as a priority.
Learn how to prevent common farm injuries and illness during this critical time at a free online webinar by University of Illinois Extension and AgrAbility. Preparing for a Safe Planting Season will run from noon to 1 p.m. CT Feb. 18 online via Zoom. Register online atgo.illinois.edu/AgrSafePlanting. Those who cannot attend live can still sign up to receive access to the recorded webinar.
In Illinois, we often see an uptick in agricultural-related injuries in the spring, saysJosie Rudolphi, Illinois Extensionspecialist. And COVID-19 will again present additional health and safety challenges to farmers.
Extension andIllinois AgrAbilityare joining together to provide practical tips and seasonal reminders appropriate for large and small-scale producers and farm families. Rudolphi will be joined bySalah Issafrom theCollege of Agricultural and Biological Engineering.
Illinois Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate, contact Josie Rudolphi atjosier@illinois.edu. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time for meeting access needs.
