Better balance, coordination, and core strength reduce slips, trips, and falls – especially on uneven terrain. Purposeful movement helps keep you steady and confident on the farm. #ASAP26 https://t.co/5hYtqD3Eqq

Heavy lifting is a part of farm life. Before you lift, plan your route, clear obstacles, and use your legs instead of your back. Keep loads close to your body, avoid twisting while lifting, and ask for help when a load’s too heavy. #ASAP26

Research shows farmers may face higher cardiovascular risk due to stress, irregular sleep, and physically demanding work.
💓 🩺 Regular screenings help identify risk factors early—before they lead to serious health events. #ASAP26

1. Wear appropriate clothing to stay dry and reduce the cold.
2. Wear several layers of clothing.
3. Know symptoms of cold stress: blue lips and fingers, confusion, and shivering.
