| Impact Report | Coordinated a two-day Progressive Agriculture Safety Day in Clovis for third grade students from Curry, Roosevelt, and Quay counties in New Mexico and Parmer County in Texas. 1154 youth, teachers, presenters, group leader and volunteers were exposed to learning stations of electrical, grain entrapment, ATV, 9-1-1, water, firearm and hearing protection, fire, farm equipment and lawnmower and chemical look-a-likes. Twelve Agencies collaborate for the success of this program. The impact of this program saves lives of our farm children, and they in turn take the message home to their parents and grandparents. The topics are discussed by the families with hopes of changing farm habits to be more safe and therefore fewer accidents and deaths on the local farm and ranch. 60% of parents requested additional information from the national organization for preventing farm accidents. Assist with coordination and funding of Progressive Agriculture Safety Days across Eastern New Mexico in eleven counties plus neighboring counties in the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma. Over 4300 youth and teachers, as well as 650 presenters, group leaders and volunteers are provided an educational opportunity to gain knowledge needed to reduce farm accidents by youth across our state. |
