Please plan to attend Accents on Agriculture A lot of folks seem to think the farm is some idyllic refuge free of many of the hazards encountered in the indus trial workplace. And, yes, it's hard to ACCENT Cl\l /XCKICLLTllFt NC FARM 0URWU FtOiHAl ION compare the farm to a mine or busy constuction site. But, things aren't al ways what they seem. The grim statistics say that farm ing is the most dangerous job. In 1983 farming leaped ahead of mining as the nation's most hazardous occupa tion. The National Safety Council re ports that 55 of every $100,000 farm ers die in on-the-job accidents, five times the national average for all major industries. Farmers are injured more often than other workers. Fifty-eight of ev ery 1.000 farmers are disabled? that's temporarily or permanently? by accidents. On average, a farm accident hap pens about every three minutes more than 540 times a day? about 200.000 times a year The National Safety Council blames the high figures on the farm work environment and the breed of men and women who take to it "It's a different type of work envi ronment than with most jobs," the Council says. "Farmers work long hours? often longer than they should. If they're hurt out in the field, they're often all by themselves. So, even if they could be saved, there's nobody around to do it." The National Safety Council, the North Carolina Safety Council, Farm Bureau and other groups have many programs designed to promote safety on the farm. There can never be too many people working to reduce farm hazards and accidents Bureau Announces Service Because of the widespread lack of rain and resulting shortage of live stock feed, the North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation has announced a hay listing service for members of the organization. According to Farm Bureau Presi dent W.B. Jenkins, members with i hay for sale are being urged to notify their county Farm Bureau office and provide information such as type of hay. type of bales, quantity and price. Members needing hay are ateo asked to contact the local Farm Bu reau office stating their needs. County Farm Bureaus participat ing in the program will post the above information in their office and also submit a listing to the State Farm Bureau in Raleigh. The North Carolina Farm Bureau will compile and mail each Monday a special hay bulletin 10 each county Farm Bureau office. This service is expected to be continued as long as needed, Jenkins said Great Britain imports 100 billion cups worth of tea each year Tin I'KKOI IM \\-? tt KKKI \ Classifieds TRY CLASSIFIED ADS!
