NAFB Trade Talk is this Thursday. Cindy and I will be there with our golden ZimmComm microphones. There are a lot of organizations exhibiting again this year. Feel free to let me know what you’ve got planned and we’ll feature it here on AgWired. Let’s take the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day Program as an example. They’re doing a “Farm Safety Quiz” at Trade Talk.
WHAT:
Provide your listeners tips to help keep children safe on the farm and ranch by taking the Safety Quiz offered by the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day™ program. You ask the quiz questions, and we’ll provide the answers and reasons why.
This is just one way the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day program works to help keep children safe and healthy on the farm, ranch and at home.

Beth Horak, Extension educator from Western, Neb., has been involved with this program for nearly 15 years and also serves as coordinator for the Nebraska Rural Health and Safety Coalition.
