We would like to leave you with a few #harvest safety reminders from @Nationwide as we conclude #NFSHW today. #necasag #USAgCenters

[National Education Center for Agricultural Safety @NECASAG]

Special thanks to our sponsors CHS, @GROWMARK, @Nationwide, and @UnitedSoy for helping us promote farm safety messages and resources during National Farm Safety and Health Week. Please carry some best practices into #Harvest2021. #necasag #NFSHW

Women are more likely to have livestock operations than traditional field crops. Proper animal handling techniques are important to learn how to work smarter rather than harder to reduce the risk of injury. #NFSHW #necasag #USAgCenters https://t.co/yKpsExJQC3

[National Education Center for Agricultural Safety @NECASAG]

Women are more comfortable asserting their roles in farm operations than ever, which is why healthcare providers need to make sure women have access to safety info when it comes to things like pesticides & working w/ livestock. #NFSHW #necasag #USAgCenters https://t.co/GiV7v83YoV

Women are almost 2x as likely as men to report that childcare is an important factor in farm decisions. Childcare is rarely discussed in conversations related to farm safety, yet it underpins the foundation of the family farm. #NFSHW #USAgCenters #necasag https://t.co/jjY9CteSy9

If you have long hair, keep it tucked under a hat or tied up when working around wrap points like power take-offs, augers, etc. #NFSHW #necasag #USAgCenters

While farm safety is important for every family member and worker, expectant moms have even more hazards to consider. Great reminders from @SuccessfulFarm and @AgriSafeNetwork! #NFSHW #necasag #USAgCenters https://t.co/6Jfke002XL

Women may be more likely to assist w/ hitching equip. to tractors, which may put them @ higher risk of being run over. Be careful hitching implements. Don't get caught in a tight spot. Learn hand signals for safe hitching. #NFHSW #necasag #USAgCenters

DYK that 36% of U.S. farmers are women? Women count in ag. That is why today we shift the focus of #NFSHW to safety & health for women in ag. What do you do to stay safe & healthy on the farm or ranch as a female producer? #necasag #USAgCenters
