| Impact Report | The first annual Lea County Progressive Agriculture Farm Safety Day was held. With coordinating help from Ag Agent, the 4-H Home Economist worked to plan an educational day for area 3rd graders and their teachers. Over 850 students from all 5 county school districts attended as well as county home school children. Safety topics covered included water, animal, bicycle, roadway, ATV, chemical, First Aid, lawn mower and wildlife. Some of the youth that attended had these remarks to say about the event: “I liked the animal safety because it taught me not to walk up and scare a horse.” “I’m not supposed to stick my hand near the lawnmower and I need to have an adult show me how to cut grass.” “You can get cold in water really fast- not swim in cold water.” Teachers praised the program with thanks and inquiries about next year’s dates. Teachers were most impressed with chemical safety and how certain liquids are hard to tell apart like rubbing alcohol and water and grape kool aid and cough syrup. |
