National Farm Safety & Health Week September 17-23, 2017
We salute and say Thank You to all the hard-working agricultural families!
How dangerous is farm work? 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.

Putting Farm Safety into Practice! A safe and healthy harvest is a happy harvest! Each September, as we kick off harvest season, we are reminded of the importance of keeping safety in mind all the time to maintain productivity and avoid injuries and illness. During National Farm Safety and Health Week, taking place September 17-23, 2017, we focus on “Putting Farm Safety into Practice.” According to the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety (NCCRAHS), every three days a child dies and every day 33 children are injured due to agricultural-related incidents in the United States. Therefore, Wednesday, September 20th has been devoted to protecting our youth and keeping children on farms, ranches and in rural areas safe and healthy. Growing up on a farm can be a wonderful experience. From a young age, children gain a strong appreciation for agriculture, learn the value of hard work and develope into the next generation of farmers. However, in order to ensure our children are around to be our future agriculture leaders, we need to keep them safe and healthy. Here are a few ways to make this happen: 1. Always make the play area more fun than the farmstead. Sadly, what seems like an innocent game of hide and seek in the tall corn can turn deadly if a child is hidden from sight and invisible to an operator of large farm equipment. 2. Ensure that tasks given to youth align with their development skill level. Recently, Agricultural Youth Work Guidelines were updated and released by NCCRAHS. These guidelines are designed to assist parents and supervisors in assigning appropriate tasks for youth who live or work on farms and ranches. 3. Attend a Progressive Agriculture Safety Day®. Safety Days are designed to be one-day, ageappropriate, hands-on, fun and safe events for children in rural communities. Since the program’s inception in 1995, more than 1.6 million children and adults have learned life-saving safety lessons helping us become recognized as the largest rural safety and health education program for children in North America.

Each year since 1944, the third week of September has been recognized as National Farm Safety & Health Week. This recognition has been an annual promotion initiated by the National Safety Council and over the years, the development and dissemination of National Farm Safety & Health Week materials has shifted to the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety. NECAS is the agricultural partner for NSC and has been serving the agricultural family and business community since 1997. The 2017 theme for National Farm Safety & Health Week is “Putting Farm Safety into Practice” Go to our web site, www.necasag.org for information and public service announcements. This year’s theme is one that hits home and reminds us that it is everyone’s responsibility for safety both on the farm and the rural roadways of America. The new data for the Department of Labor shows the agricultural sector is still the most dangerous in America with 570 fatalities, which equals 22.8 deaths per 100,000 workers. When combining all labor sectors the death rate was 3.4% Information for this page was found on www.necasag.org/nationalfarmsafetyandhealthweek

Hooked on
honey
Doroff stung with beekeeping enthusiasm BY NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER
SAUK RAPIDS — Sarah Doroff is a self-described bee nerd. “I love the honey bees,” she said. “They’re great to have for pollinating and in your garden — but they’re great to watch, too.” The 22-year-old Waite Park resident is Minnesota’s newest Honey Queen. She was crowned July 15 at the Minnesota Honey Producers Convention in Walker after an education-based competition that paired her knowledge of honey bees with that of skills in writing, marketing, interviewing and
public relations. Doroff was sponsored in the event by the Tri-County Beekeepers Association, which her family and she have been members of for the past three years. Doroff’s obsession with bees and the commodity they produce, began after returning home from her sophomore year in college in 2015. “I came home and there was a garage full of beekeeping supplies and equipment,” said Doroff, a sociology major at the University of WisconsinEau Claire. Her father Roger had bought two 3-pound packages to begin beekeeping. Doroff joined her father in his beekeeping hobby by photographing the colonies
of the buzzing insects, but soon began handling the bees. She has now gained enough confidence and knowledge to check the hives for health and sustainability on her own. “We look for a good laying pattern and honey supply. We try and find the queen, young and old larvae, and we check for varromites,” Doroff said. The Doroff’s apiaries are located across central Minnesota in Briggs Lake, Avon, Cold Spring and Waite Park. Doroff has four hives of her own, but her family tends to more than 20 hives with roughly 60,000 bees each. “If you do the math, it’s over a million bees altogether,” Doroff said. Honey begins as flower nectar that is foraged by female honey bees. The honey bees store the nectar in their honey stomachs — a reservoir for liquids. This stomach adds enzymes which help the future honey take on antibacterial properties. The nectar, which consists of sugars and almost 80 percent water, is stored within the honeycomb. Bees fan their wings over the nectar, helping the evaporation process, turning the watery nectar into the sticky substance known as honey. Doroff said a healthy hive can produce about 300 pounds of honey each year, which is double the amount the insects need for winter. Honey producers remove the excess for personal use and sale. “We want to make sure the bees have enough honey to remain well-fed throughout the winter,” Doroff said. “In
Minnesota, the University of Minnesota lab recommends we leave about 80-100 pounds of honey on for our bees. We also add emergency feed — a candied board — if they have a low honey supply.” Minnesota winters can be tough on bees which prefer their hives to maintain an optimum temperature of 98 degrees, so — in addition to leaving plenty of food — the Doroffs wrap their hives in tar paper for protection. Doroff said honey producers have only a 50 percent chance of colony survival when wintering in the state. “Bees can leave in midOctober because there is not enough food, they can starve off, die or freeze out,” Doroff said. “There are a multitude of factors that can cause bees stress. Properly wintering in Minnesota is a hot topic amongst beekeepers. I know a lot of people — big and small beekeepers — who take their bees to Texas or Florida.” Wintering, paired with decreasing numbers of pollinators, is a concern for the Honey Queen. “One worker bee produces one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in their entire lifetime. It takes 12 worker bees to produce one teaspoon,” Doroff said. “Our honey bees need a voice. It would take 18 billion dollars to hand pollinate all the fruits and vegetables in the United States. One third of our fruits and vegetables are pollinated by honey bees in the United States and without them we’d have a slim selection in our diet.” Doroff said that many
people underestimate the impact of honey bees and added that aside from fruits and vegetables the insects are important to other industries as well. “They pollinate our alfalfa which is good for the dairy industry,” Doroff said. Doroff will continue her advocacy throughout the next year, appearing at community gatherings and schools across the state. Her engagements will prepare her for a run at the American Honey Queen title in 2019. But Doroff’s hunger for honey promotion may be all she needs. “Honey is an incredible
substance,” Doroff said. “It’s a great alternative to [refined] sugar. It’s a simple sugar and easy to digest. It has antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial properties and never spoils. I love being an ambassador for the honey bees because they are so important. They are smart and incredible insects, and they work so hard for us.” To schedule a visit with the Minnesota Honey Queen contact Emily Campbell at camp0588@umn.edu.

Hackett receives scholarship for equipment technician career ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Tyler Hackett has a passion for procedure. “I enjoy figuring out why something isn’t working the way it’s supposed to and solving the issue,” said Hackett, of Rice. “Ever since I can remember, I was always spending time in our shop on the family farm, working with my dad and grandpa fixing farm equipment.” Hackett’s enthusiasm for repairs and maintenance makes him the perfect fit for the two-year John Deere tech program at North Dakota State University, where he is currently studying. The Sauk Rapids-Rice graduate initially thought to enter a four-year engineering program, but soon realized it wasn’t the right fit for him. He began networking and when Midwest Machinery Co., of Sauk Rapids, agreed to sponsor Hackett in the technician program, he accepted. Before entering the program, Hackett spent the summer of 2016 as an intern at the dealership, shadowing technicians, replacing parts and working on small lawn and garden equipment. With one year of schooling under his belt, this past spring was different. “This time, I got to work on bigger projects with other technicians — from planters to tractors to combines and bailers,” Hackett said. His boss agreed. “Each time Tyler comes back to work with us between semesters he’s more and more efficient in diagnosing and

It’s sometimes more challenging to find out what the issue is [on newer equipment] than with the older stuff,” Hackett said. Hackett is looking forward to graduating and becoming a full-time technician at the dealership. To help him achieve his dream, Hackett was awarded a scholarship through the Equipment Dealers Foundation. The scholarship includes matching funds from Hackett’s sponsoring dealership, Midwest Machinery. Only 15 students across the United States received scholarships 320-468-6493 from the Equipment Dealers 202 3rd Ave., NW Association. “I’m really grateful for Pierz, MN the scholarship,” he said. “It will go a long way to helping me finish the program with as Brands of little debt as possible.” Form-A-Feed, Inc.® Hackett enjoys that his career choice will allow him to work from places other than an office chair and knows that his job will be secure for “as long as heavy equipment remains the backbone of America.” Hackett is happy with his career choice and has no regrets in his decision. “I’ve enjoyed fixing our own equipment so much that I figured I might as well pursue a career working on other people’s,” Hackett said.
