This week, the Farm Family Resource Initiative (FFRI) joins farmers and communities across the country in recognizing National Farm Safety & Health Week.

From Sept. 22–26, we’ll share daily reminders focused on:
🚜 Equipment & Rural Roadway Safety
💚 Health & Wellness
👩‍👩‍👧 Generations of Farming
⚠️ Confined Spaces
🏞️ ATV/UTV Safety

Farmers face unique challenges—long hours, dangerous equipment, unpredictable weather, and the stress of carrying on a vital way of life. Safety means not only protecting our bodies, but also caring for our mental and emotional well-being.

📞 If you or someone you love needs support, the FFRI Helpline is available 24/7 at 1-833-FARM-SOS (1-833-327-6767). Calls are confidential.

Follow along with us this week as we highlight steps we can all take to keep our families, neighbors, and communities safe. 🌱
