CHATHAM, Va. (RFD News) — ER nurse and dairy farmer’s wife Katie Hammock created a farm-specific emergency kit after seeing agricultural accidents firsthand.
Hammock, known online as “The Dairy Wife,” joined us on Saturday’s Market Day Report ahead of National Farm Safety and Health Week to discuss her work.
In her conversation with RFD News, Hammock said traditional first-aid kits often lacked supplies needed for serious farm emergencies. Through a partnership with The Dairy Alliance, she has provided more than 1,500 of her kits to dairy farmers across the Southeast.
She also provides farm safety training online and at speaking events. Hammock says one of the biggest misconceptions she encounters is the belief that serious accidents will not happen on a person’s own farm.
