Women are more likely to have livestock operations than traditional field crops. Proper animal handling techniques are important to learn how to work smarter rather than harder to reduce the risk of injury. #NFSHW#necasag#USAgCentersag-safety.extension.org/women-in-agric…
Women are more comfortable asserting their roles in farm operations than ever, which is why healthcare providers need to make sure women have access to safety info when it comes to things like pesticides & working w/ livestock. #NFSHW#necasag#USAgCentersharvestpublicmedia.org/post/pregnancy…
Women are almost 2x as likely as men to report that childcare is an important factor in farm decisions. Childcare is rarely discussed in conversations related to farm safety, yet it underpins the foundation of the family farm. #NFSHW#USAgCenters#necasagbit.ly/2XD8RQh
If you have long hair, keep it tucked under a hat or tied up when working around wrap points like power take-offs, augers, etc. #NFSHW#necasag#USAgCenters

Women may be more likely to assist w/ hitching equip. to tractors, which may put them @ higher risk of being run over. Be careful hitching implements. Don't get caught in a tight spot. Learn hand signals for safe hitching. #NFHSW#necasag#USAgCenters

DYK that 36% of U.S. farmers are women? Women count in ag. That is why today we shift the focus of #NFSHW to safety & health for women in ag. What do you do to stay safe & healthy on the farm or ranch as a female producer? #necasag#USAgCenters
