Impact Report Progressive Agriculture Safety Day The annual Progressive Agriculture Safety Day that was held at the Eastern New Mexico State Fairgrounds in Roswell. Students from public and private schools and those home-schooled in the Roswell community attended the camp over a two-day period. Youth received instruction on ten topics ranging from traditional Agricultural Safety Day topics of “Electrical Safety” to more “non-traditional” but pertinent topics of “ATV Safety” and “Bloodborne Pathogens.” Approximately 1300 elementary school students along with their teachers and chaperones attended the day camp and gained information that can prevent serious accidents or health problems from occurring. The 4-H agent was responsible for coordinating media coverage as well as group leaders and volunteers. Evaluations completed by the group leaders and volunteers showed the topics were relevant to not only farm safety but safety in all aspects of life and they gained information that could save their lives or will assist them in keeping healthy.
