National Farm Safety & Health Week ... September 20-26 Safety in Agriculture

National Farm Safety & Health Week commemorates the hard work, diligence, and sacrifices of our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmers and ranchers. The September 2015 event marks the 72nd consecutive year of recognition. Each year since 1944, a proclamation has been signed by the U.S. President â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Franklin D. Roosevelt began this tradition. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ag Safety is not just a slogan, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifestyleâ&#x20AC;? reminds local and rural communities that agriculture is one of the most dangerous occupations in the U.S. and farm injuries and fatalities are preventable through education. The most recent data from the U.S. Department of Labor indicates that in 2013 farming accounted for 500 fatalities (23.2 deaths per 100,000 workers).

Harvest safety tips

*Turn off equipment when working around it. Turn the tractor off every time you get off. *Stay hydrated. Take a jug of water with you. *Take periodic breaks from doing repetitive tasks. *Complete a thorough safety check on all equipment before you use it. *Wear sunscreen and a hat. *Make sure all shields and guards are in place on your equipment. *Make sure Slow Moving Vehicle emblem is visible and properly placed. *Carry a charged cell phone with you. *Make sure someone knows what field you are in, and that you have set a time you will return home. *Do not wear loose fitting clothes. *Never allow extra riders. One seat on a tractor means one person should be on that tractor. *Have rollover protective structures (ROPS) installed on all tractors. *Wear your seatbelt (on ROPS equipped tractors).*Be considerate of traffic when you are on the road with your equipment. Remember, many farm accidents happen because of choices we made or did not make.

When operating a tractor, remember to:

*Securely fasten your seat belt *Avoid ditches, embankments, and holes if at all possible *Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, and on a questionable surface *Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation *Do not allow passengers *Be sure everyone is a safe distance before moving *Operate the tractor as smoothly as possible *Hitch only to the drawbar and hitch points recommended by the manufacturer *Set brakes securely when tractor is stopped and use park if available

Motorists use caution; share the road with farm equipment during harvest Motorists should be extremely cautious as they drive, especially on rural roads, as slow moving farm equipment is on the roadways during harvest. Most crashes are due to inattention, speeding and unsafe passing. When approaching farm equipment, motorists need to pay attention, slow down and pass with extreme caution. Farm equipment is very large and heavy making it extremely difficult for operators to accelerate, slow down and stop. These vehicles also have large blind spots, making it difficult for operators to see approaching vehicles. Farm equipment operators should: •Use lights and flashers to make equipment

more visible. •Use slow moving emblems on equipment traveling less than 30 mph. •Consider using a follow vehicle when moving equipment, especially at night. Motorists are reminded to: •Watch for mud and debris on the roadway as trucks go directly from the field onto the highway. •Be aware that you can encounter farm equipment at any time of day. •Drive with headlights on at all times. •Wear seatbelts. Seat belts are your best protection against death and injury in the event of a crash.

Farm Safety Week ... â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ag Safety is not just a slogan, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifestyleâ&#x20AC;?

Take caution when around grain Grain entrapment, combustible dust, and dangerous equipment presenting pinch points are three important hazards to know about when working with grain. Grain entrapment is one of the least understood hazards in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm operations. Entrapments are a main concern for anyone working around farm grains. Over the past 50 years there have been 900 entrapments reported. It only takes seconds to become engulfed by grain and it takes 300 pounds of force to free someone. Countless people have experienced a â&#x20AC;&#x153;close call,â&#x20AC;? where they have found themselves either trapped in grain or swept through an outlet in flowing grain. The most common remark of survivors is that they never anticipated the tremendous force of grain. Children, who may be intrigued by flowing grain are at risk too. If they choose to investigate the phenomenon, they can be trapped in seconds and suffocate.

Following a few safety tips while working with grain can reduce your risk and ensure a safe farm environment for you and your family. It is recommended that no one enters grain bins; but if there is a need take these precautions: Use a personal fall prevention device or body harness Shut off power before entering and use a lockout-tagout process Always work in teams of three: one to enter the bin, one to watch at the bin door, and one on the ground Make sure safety shields are covering augers while operating Never permit children to ride in grain wagons or enter grain storage areas Always know where ALL family members are (especially children) at all times when grain is being loaded, unloaded, moved,, or otherwise handled

Iowa farmers brace for another year of belt-tightening

Iowa farmers are bracing for another year of belt tightening - cutting back on everything from cash rent, to fertilizer and farm equipment - as they expect farm income to drop once again in 2015-16. However, farmers continue to make investments in conservation to improve environmental performance Those key outcomes were gleaned from the latest AgriPulse Farm Opinion Poll, conducted August 17-24. Slightly over 84 percent of the 153 poll respondents said they expect their farm income to be lower than 2014, with soybean prices trending below $9 per bushel. About 13 percent expect their incomes to be about the same as last year with only 3 percent expecting an uptick. For the most part, farmers expect their yields to be better or at least even with the 10-year state average of 50 bushels per acre. Thirty-five percent reported that their yields would be slightly higher than 50 bushels, while 26 percent reported yields would be about the same. Some 19 percent predicted their yields would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;significantly higher.â&#x20AC;? That's consistent with the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by USDA's National Agricultural Statistical Service August 24. Of those planning to trim expenses, almost 60 percent said they plan to curtail farm equipment purchases. That's consistent with the outlook from major farm equipment manufacturers. For example, John Deere, revised its 2015 profit forecast downward by two points to 21 percent as sinking corn and soybean prices reduce growers' incomes. However, farm equipment isn't the only purchase that will be scaled back this year. --47 percent also said they plan to cut back on farm rent payments, --Almost 40 percent said they plan to trim fertilizer applications, --37 percent plan to reduce seed purchases --30 percent plan to trim crop chemical purchases. At the same time, Iowa farmers seem to be investing in more ways to conserve the soil and improve nutrient management. Slightly over 52 percent report that they are using split application of fertilizer to deliver nutrients when they can be best utilized by crops. Another 39 percent said they have changed from fall to spring application of nutrients to help crops grow, 37 percent reduced the overall amount of nutrients applied, and 35 percent have switched to no-till planting. In addition, 43 percent of poll participants have installed edge-of-field buffers to reduce soil and nutrient runoff. Several federal cost-share programs are available to address soil and water conservation and Iowa farmers are investing through the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Asked which programs they use, 42 percent have participated in either the Conservation Stewardship Program or the Environmental Quality Incentives Program.

Power take-off devices can rip safety out of a farm

Donnie Summers of Lathrop MO distinctly remembers the day his father’s overalls were caught in a power take-off (PTO) of a silage cutter. The revolving device ripped his coveralls off and even pulled one sock out of his work boots. Naked and shaken up, he walked down the country lane to his farmhouse. Since the 1930s, PTOs helped farmers harness the power of tractor engines to drive a variety of implements. The tractor powers a shaft that spins at hundreds of revolutions per minute. In the time it takes a person with average reaction time to hit the off button, a 540 rpm PTO can wrap the operator around the shaft. It is a common misconception that a human being can react fast enough to avoid serious injury. Once entangled, there is little a person can do. Reaction time slows with age, declining physical condition, use of medication and lack of sleep. •Always pull up long hair and braids when working around equipment. Put hair under a hat for best results. Remove jewelry and earrings when working around PTOs. •Do not wear clothes with loose sleeves, frayed edges or drawstrings. Avoid long shoelaces. •Keep safety shields and guards in place, even after repairs have been made. •Stay clear of moving parts. •Always shut off augers and machinery equipped with belt and chain drives and rotating pulleys. •Stop the PTO when dismounting from the tractor. •Do not let children ride on or near a tractor. They can be entangled in the PTO if they slip. • Walk around tractors. Never step over a rotating shaft.

Tractors: One of the biggest dangers

on the farm

Farm tractors are essential to modern agriculture. Without them, food production would fall far short of meeting our needs. Unfortunately, tractors are generally the farm machinery identified with the most injuries in crop production agriculture. Maneuvering sometimes difficult terrain can put the tractor in precarious situations. Uneven terrain can cause a tractor to roll, putting the operator in danger. The rollover protective structure (ROPS) is one of the most important safety devices to protect operators during a roll over. The second most important device is the seatbelt because it keeps the driver within the safety zone of the ROPS. Only defensive driving will prevent a roll over, but ROPS and the seatbelt will help protect the driver if it happens. Carrying an extra passenger is also a safety concern. With cab less models, all it takes is one bump to throw the extra rider off balance enough for them to fall. People have fallen from cabs as well. It is instinct to hold onto something when jarred off balance. Some people have reached for the door handle, accidentally hitting the latch and falling out. Instructional seats, or buddy seats are a safer way to carry a passenger in a tractor. However, these are designed to be used for training purposes. When operating a tractor, remember to: *Securely fasten your seat belt *Avoid ditches, embankments, and holes if at all possible *Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, and on a questionable surface *Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation *Do not allow passengers *Be sure everyone is a safe distance before moving *Operate the tractor as smoothly as possible *Hitch only to the drawbar and hitch points recommended by the manufacturer *Set brakes securely when tractor is stopped and use park if available It is critical to train young people to operate tractors properly. Beyond the tasks associated with driving, recognizing and avoiding hazards should be addressed.

Ag workers … protect your hearing

There are 2.17 million farms in United States, and 2.7 million hired farm workers. There are 731,000 youth working in agriculture; 65% of youth work on a family farm and 35% of youth are working on a non-family farm. Over 87% of farms are operated by families or individuals.

Farm Safety Week ... “Ag Safety is not just a slogan, it’s a lifestyle”

ATV safety is critical for ag producers Farmers and ranchers in all parts of the country rely on all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) to complete a variety of jobs related to production agriculture. Manufacturers continue to identify new applications and develop pull-behind attachments to increase the versatility and usefulness of ATVs. Despite their usefulness, ATVs remain a source of problematic incidents on farms and ranches. In the United States in 2008, ATV accidents resulted in 135,100 injuries and 410 deaths (Consumer Product Safety Commission). To reduce the risk of an ATV-related injury or death, take the following precautions: *Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). *Participate in certified safety training. *Maintain your ATV in proper working condition. *Practice safe operating procedures. Protective Gear for ATV Operators The most important piece of protective gear for an operator is a helmet. Observe the following guidelines when selecting and wearing a helmet for ATV use: Select a helmet that is the correct size for the operator. To ensure that a helmet has been safety-tested, select a helmet approved for ATV. If the helmet is not equipped with a face shield, wear ANSI-approved goggles or glasses with hard-coated polycarbonate lenses. When operating an ATV, you should also wear: gloves, boots, a long-sleeved shirt or jacket, and long pants. Properly maintaining your ATV and executing a checklist before riding can minimize your risk of injury and decrease the possibility of being stranded due to engine malfunction.

Safe Operating Procedures Turning: Remember to shift your weight properly when making a turn. When making a turn at a low speed, shift your body weight forward and to the outside of the turn while turning the handlebars. When making a turn at a higher speed, lean your upper body toward the inside of the turn while keeping your weight on the outer footrest. Braking: Applying the brakes evenly and gently will bring the ATV to a proper stop. When possible, release the throttle and shift to a lower gear prior to coming to your stopping point. Climbing: Operating an ATV on a slope that is too steep increases your risk for a potentially deadly overturn. When you approach an incline, keep both feet firmly on the footrests and shift your body weight forward. If your ATV stalls on a steep incline and you begin to drift backward, apply the brakes slowly. Applying the brakes too fast when rolling backward could result in a rear overturn. Always shift into a lower gear and point your ATV downhill when descending an incline. Keep your feet firmly on the footrest and slide to the back of the operator’s seat to improve your stability. Operating on sloped terrain: Shifting your body weight while in the operator’s seat significantly changes the ATV’s center of gravity on sloped terrain. When possible, avoid driving your ATV across steep slopes when the terrain is slippery or bumpy. If you must drive on such conditions, keep your feet on the footrests and lean your body weight uphill.

Grain bin deaths statistics

■ When you leave the combine cab, always turn off the engine, set the park brake, and remove the key. ■ Prevent runovers by never bypass starting the engine. ■ Never allow riders, except for training or machine diagnostics. ■ Carry fully-charged 10 lb. ABC-rated fire extinguisher near front and another near the rear of combine. ■ Never enter grain tank while engine is running, and never use your hands or feet to break up bridged grain.

Iowa deaths: From 2000 to 2010, 17 Iowans died after being trapped in grain, according to the University of Iowa College of Public Health. Another nine died after falling into or from a grain bin. National deaths: A report by National Public Radio and the Center for Public Integrity this year documented 179 grain entrapment deaths since 1984. Quick danger: A 6-foot person can sink waist deep in grain in five seconds, and be buried in 11 seconds. The Iowa deaths in some cases involved this type of scenario, a farmer gets into a grain bin to "walk down" the corn or beans. That means breaking up a layer that has become crusty after condensation fell on it. A University of Iowa report said a 64-year-old farmer was knocking beans loose from the bin walls while grain was unloaded. He got trapped and suffocated. A 49-year-old co-op employee was breaking up a crust when he got stuck in soybeans. He called a co-worker on a radio, but was buried when help arrived.

Keeping your child active now is important for their future. Children love to move when given the opportunityâ&#x20AC;Ś climbing, jumping, running, etc. Create the environment for activity and your children will WANT to join in! â&#x20AC;˘Find a place outdoors where your children can run freely, kick balls, and do somersaults. It may be the local park or it could just be your own back yard. â&#x20AC;˘Set aside a play area inside where they can â&#x20AC;&#x153;just be kids.â&#x20AC;? Allow them to roll and jump around without risking injury to themselves or your belongings. â&#x20AC;˘Make family time an active time. Instead of watching a movie together on the couch, get outdoors and play a game of kickball or ride bikes together.

Seasonal flu shot clinics to begin ICA Carcass Challenge participants can sign up until Oct. 1 By Delaware County Public Health and Regional Family Health Influenza (or the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fluâ&#x20AC;?) is a contagious disease that can be spread by coughing, sneezing, or nasal secretions. Symptoms may include fever, cough, sore throat, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, or a runny or stuffy nose. The flu can cause high fever and pneumonia and make existing medical conditions worse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each year, the flu kills thousands of people and hospitalizes even more,â&#x20AC;? said Delaware County Public Health Manager Delma Hardin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The recommendation is for everyone six months and older to be vaccinated and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially important to be vaccinated if you have regular contact with people more vulnerable to the complications of flu.â&#x20AC;? Everyone is at risk for influenza but especially children, adults 65+, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic health conditions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heart, lung, kidney, or weakened immune systems â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can become much more ill when they contract this disease. Influenza viruses are always changing, so annual vaccination is recommended. Regional Family Health (RFH) will offer flu shot clinics 8 AM-3 PM on the following Saturdays: Sept. 26; Oct. 3, 10, and 24 at Regional Family Health-Manchester. Cost is $35 or present an insurance card. Individuals with Medicare can receive these shots for free (card must be presented). The clinics are open to everyone. Delaware County Public Health (DCPH) will offer flu shots at multiple locations in area communities again this year. The cost is $35. Individuals with Medicare can receive these shots for free (card must be presented). In Manchester, the walk-in clinics will be held 1-4 PM Thursday, Oct. 1 at the Delaware County Fairgrounds Community Center and 9 AM-noon Thursday, Oct. 15 at Golden Age Activity Center. It will also be held 10 AM-noon Wednesday, Oct. 14 at the Dundee Fire Station/Community Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The flu vaccine can protect you and in turn, those you love and care for,â&#x20AC;? stated Regional Family Health Nurse Shirley Cole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are unable to make it to one of the flu clinics, please call one of our five Regional Family Health offices to set up an appointment at your convenience.â&#x20AC;? For information or additional clinic locations, call Delaware County Public Health at 563-927-7551 or Regional Family Health at 563-927-7777.
