SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (RFD-TV) — Agriculture ranks among the most hazardous occupations today, which is why the industry is coming together to spotlight National Farm Safety and Health Week.
Kevin Charleston with Specialty Risk Insurance joined us to share his perspective on farm safety and risk management during one of the busiest times of the year.
In an interview with RFD-TV News, Charleston highlighted an often-overlooked risk on farms and mills during harvest and explained the steps producers can take to protect their employees better. He also broke down the difference between workers’ compensation coverage and the employee liability typically included in a standard farm policy—an essential distinction for farm owners to understand.
Charleston closed by previewing upcoming events and deadlines for producers to be aware of, noting how Specialty Risk Insurance continues to support farm families and agribusinesses across the region.
Suderman joins Tony St. James in the RFD Studios to discuss how geopolitical tensions are triggering global transport disruptions, new inflation pressures, and other challenges for agriculture to navigate.
