Nobody wants to get the phone call that there was a farm accident. We assume the worst. And rightly so as farming is one of the most dangerous occupations. That’s why we're celebrating Farm Safety Week ahead of a busy harvest season. No matter the severity of a farm accident, financial stress also becomes a factor.
