Description

The farm management tools of today appear to be mostly cash-flow sheets, computers, and other high-tech devices that allow South Dakota farmers and ranchers to minimize their risks and operate for one more season. Nevertheless, a farmer faces a greater risk every day, one that he tends to forget about until it happens. It is a risk of a farm accident or an occupational illness. Fortunately, these times are also high-tech times for personal protection. There are safety devices, protective clothing, and much information available to help us avoid or minimize the risk.
