NFMC to be Featured at Farm Technology Days

The National Farm Medicine Center’s (NFMC’s) largest-ever safety demonstration will be part of Wisconsin Farm Technology Days, July 10-12, near Marshfield. NFMC is working with Pittsville Fire Department, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, Progressive Agriculture Safety Days, local FFA chapters and others in setting up live demonstrations in tractor rollovers, tractor rollover rescues, grain rescue, child safe play areas and interactive activities for older children. NFMC scientist Casper Bendixsen, Ph.D. stated, “One of the things visitors will see is how closely a health care system can be involved with rural health care, and in taking care of its agricultural community,” Fire departments from Arpin, Vesper, Richfield and Hewitt will join Pittsville in staffing two of the demos in the Safety and Rescue Area.
