AUTHOR ABSTRACT

The history of organized safety began in earnest in 1912 with the First Cooperative Safety Congress in Milwaukee. 25 years later, some farm leaders met to organize a national farm safety program. The history and achievements of these efforts are highlighted. Still, agriculture remains a hazardous industry, and total resources available for farm safety programs have fallen from past levels rather than increased to meet needs.
