| Impact Report | Progressive Ag Safety Day This activity is nationally sponsored and provides youth in rural communities an awareness of potential dangers of farm and rural life. Even youth from the larger urban areas gain an awareness of dangers they may be exposed to as well. Curry and Roosevelt Co. Extension Services coordinate this camp, the largest in the US, along with Plateau Telecommunications, local fire and police departments, Home Health Care, Curry Co. Farm Bureau, State Parks Department, Roosevelt Co. Rural Electric Cooperative and Farmer’s Electric Cooperative, Curry Co. Health Department and numerous volunteers each fall. The cooperation of all involved allow this two day event to take place and provide learning experiences for 3rd grade students and adults from schools in Curry Co., Roosevelt Co, and some of the Parmer Co. Texas schools. Home Economist taught classes on firearm and hearing safety. Students are made aware of firearm safety as it is taught in the NM Hunter Education classes, leaving guns alone unless they are with a qualified adult and the importance of taking a Hunter Education class. Hearing protection is discussed as applied to noises from guns, tools, loud music and other loud noises. It is hopeful that this learning station will make them prepared when they are in an unsafe situation with others or I curbing their curiosity and preventing accidents with firearms. |
