The Bureau of Labor Statistics ranked agriculture as one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. In honor of National Safety Month, we want to look at ways to protect farmers.

In his interview with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander, Sandquist shared some farm hazards, safety tips, and other trends in commercial agribusiness. She also shared Nationwide’s new program, Every STEP Counts, to help farmers and ranchers identify gaps in their operations’ safety plans.
