Progressive Agriculture Safety Days have provided the education, training and resources to make farm, ranch and rural life safer and healthier for children and their communities. For 25 years, Progressive Agriculture Safety Days have helped local communities conduct a one-day safety and health educational program designed to be age-appropriate, hands-on, fun and safe for children ages 4 to 13. Since 1995, more than 1.7 million children and adults have been impacted.

Leaving a Lasting Legacy: Tom Wall was a beloved husband, father and extremely active community member. Among many achievements, Tom was recognized as an Iowa Master Farmer and served as a 34-year leader of a local 4-H club. Tom was tragically killed in a tractor-roadway incident on May 26, 2016, at the age of 55. Since the day of Tom’s passing, the Wall family vowed to turn their loss into something good for others. One day, Tom’s daughter Sarah, who participated in a Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® as a child, decided to ask people to donate in her dad’s name. This small act raised more than $500. This will enable the Progressive Agriculture Foundation to send at least 44 participants to a local Safety Day in their community. The Progressive Agriculture Foundation thanks Sarah and her family for designating a memorial gift in Tom Wall’s name. This generous gift shows how you can honor the memory of a loved one by investing in the safety of children living on farms and ranches, and in rural communities.

In honor of the Saint Patrick’s Day holiday, here is a limerick to encourage adopting safety whether on the farm or ranch, or at home.

When you practice safety and health
You gain a great deal of wealth
Human life cannot be replaced
A loss no one should face
So always choose safety and value health.
