About 85,000 people attended the fair last year, down about 15,000 from the record-setting 2014 fair, but about average for the fair’s five-day run.

Organizers said the poor weather at the opening of the fair affected attendance, but it rebounded quickly once the skies cleared.

Ag industry is fertile ground for high-skilled positions High school students interested in pursuing a career in agriculture will likely find job opportunities are ripe for the picking in the coming years.

According to a report from Purdue University, the United States will have nearly 58,000 high-skilled job openings per year in the food, agriculture, renewable natural resources and environmental fields between now and 2020. That compares to only about

35,000 U.S. students graduating with degrees in those fields per year for the same time.

One factor driving the demand for skilled workers is the diverse mix of challenges facing farmers. By 2050, U.S. farmers are expected to help increase global food production by 70 percent to feed a world population of 9 billion people. In the near term, farmers must also contend with lower commodity prices, cope with severe weather

Farming can be dangerous work OSHA offers these tips for safety on the farm

Contrary to the popular image of fresh air and peaceful surroundings, a farm is not a hazard-free work setting. Every year, thousands of farm workers are injured and hundreds more die in farming accidents. According to the National Safety Council, agriculture is the most hazardous industry in the nation.

Farm workers – including farm families and migrant workers – are exposed to hazards such as: • Chemicals/Pesticides, • Manure pits, • Cold, • Mud, • Dust, • Noise, • Electricity, • Ponds, • Grain bins, • Silos, • Hand tools, • Slips/Trips/Falls, • Highway traffic, • Sun/Heat, • Lifting, • Toxic gases, • Livestock handling, • Tractors, and • Machinery/Equipment, • Wells.

The following factors may increase risk of injury or illness for farm workers: • Age – Injury rates are highest among children age 15 and under and adults over 65; • Equipment and machinery – Most farm accidents and fatalities involve machinery.

Proper machine guarding and doing equipment maintenance according to manufacturers’ recommendations can help prevent accidents; • Protective equipment – Using protective equipment, such as seat belts on tractors, and personal protective equipment (such as safety gloves, coveralls, boots, hats, aprons, goggles, face shields) could significantly reduce farming injuries; and • Medical care – Hospitals and emergency medical care are typically not readily accessible in rural areas near farms.

Improving farm safety

Farmers can start by increasing their awareness of farming hazards and making a conscious effort to prepare for emergency situations including fires, vehicle accidents, electrical shocks from equipment and wires, and chemical exposures. Special attention should be paid to hazards that may affect children and the elderly.

Hazards can be minimized by carefully selecting purchased products to ensure that workers have good tools and equipment. Everyone should use seat belts when operating tractors, and farms should establish and maintain good housekeeping practices.

Here are some other steps farmers can take to reduce illnesses and injuries on the farm: • Read and follow instructions in equipment operator’s manuals and on product labels; • Inspect equipment routinely for problems that may cause accidents; • Discuss safety hazards and emergency procedures with workers; • Install approved rollover protective structures, protective enclosures, or protective frames on tractors; • Make sure that guards on farm equipment are replaced after maintenance; • Review and follow instructions in material safety data sheets (MSDSs) and on labels that come with chemical products and communicate information on these hazards to your workers; • Take precautions to prevent entrapment and suffocation caused by unstable surfaces of grain storage bins, silos, or hoppers. Never “walk the grain;” • Be aware that methane gas, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide can form in unventilated grain silos and manure pits and can suffocate or poison workers or explode; and • Take advantage of safety equipment, such as bypass starter covers, power take-off master shields, and slow-moving vehicle emblems.

and labor shortages, and combat greater weed resistance and crop disease.

A new generation of skilled professionals is needed to help take farmers to 2050 and beyond. This includes not only the farm operators who will be expected to apply more sophisticated farming technologies and practices in the field, but the researchers, scientists and engineers who will shape the future of agriculture through research and innovations.

Another factor contributing to the robust job market is an aging workforce.

According to a report from the STEM Food and Ag Council, nearly a quarter of industry professionals in advanced agriculture fields such as plant and soil science, food science and technology, and agricultural economics are age 55 or older. Meanwhile, more than 60 percent of principal farm operators are now age 55 or older, reports the USDA Census of Agriculture.

An influx of young talent will be needed in the next several years to replace these workers both in the field and in the lab.

So what can young people who are interested in agriculture do to prepare for an eventual career in the industry?

The number of scholarships available to students from different organizations can be overwhelming. Ag-focused scholarships can be a good place to start, especially as companies seek to support more young people joining the industry.

FILE PHOTO Kenosha County Fair 2016

Young people interested in agriculture are likely to find a surplus of job opportunities in the coming years.

For example, BASF has partnered with the American Soybean Association, National Corn Growers Association and the National Wheat Foundation, some for as many as 10 years, to offer a variety of scholarships for students planning careers in agriculture.

Kenosha 4-H

2016 KENOSHA COUNTY FAIR

Page 13

OFFERS MANY OPPORTUNITIES 4-H is a positive youth development organization that empowers young people to reach their full potential. A vast community of more than 7 million youth and adults working together for positive change, 4-H enables America’s youth to emerge as leaders through hands-on learning, research- based 4-H youth programs and adult mentorship, in order to give back to their local communities.

4-H prepares young people to step up to the challenges in their community and the world. Using research-based programming around positive youth development, 4-H youth get the hands-on real world experience they need to become leaders. Young people who are a part of 4-H have the opportunity to explore all types of science, health, and citizenship programming delivered through 4-H clubs and camps, as well as afterschool.

4-H is the youth development program of the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the Cooperative Extension System of the nation’s land-grant universities. Wisconsin 4-H is a program of the University of Wisconsin-Extension in partnership with state, federal and county government in each Wisconsin county.

In a safe and enriching environment, 4-H brings youth and adults together to learn everyday skills with hands-on learning.

Working on activities from animal and plant sciences to robotics, 4-H’ers learn problemsolving skills that can make a positive impact upon their community. 4-H helps youth: • Meet the diverse challenges of today’s world; • Build self-confidence; • Learn responsibility; and • Make positive decisions.

In Kenosha County, anyone who is in kindergarten to one year past high school graduation can join a local 4-H club and become a 4-H member.

4-H clubs meet once a month to discuss club and project goals, and to do fun activities.

Members can help out in their local communities as volunteers and youth leaders. 4-H members also participate in out-of-state trips and international exchanges, conduct scientific experiments, have parties, create artwork, camp out and enjoy other outdoor experiences, or take care of an animal.

Kenosha County has multiple 4-H Clubs. Contact a leader to find out more about their club, or the UW-Extension Office at (262) 857-1945.
