June is National Safety Month, an important reminder of the unique safety challenges in agriculture. From operating heavy equipment and handling livestock to working long hours in changing weather conditions, staying alert and following safety best practices helps protect our farmers, workers, and families. Making safety a daily habit ensures that everyone can return home safely while continuing the vital work of feeding and supporting our communities.
