Farm Safety Enter your response A Mega-Prompt Read published entries  Green acres is the place to be. Farm living is the life for me! So goes the first few lines of the theme song for a 60's vintage TV sitcom. Today's farm environment is much different and much more dangerous, in terms of safety, than the one depicted by this popular television show. Being kicked by a cow may hurt for a short time, but will certainly not cause the life threatening injuries that are capable of being inflicted by today's modern machinery. Many of the students in our school live on, or near, a farm/ranch.

Share your thoughts on this important topic! Note - If you don't live on a farm, you can still write about experiences you have with safety issues in the community where you live.
