Farm Safety

Author: Carol Hinton

Planning Unit: Breckinridge County CES

Major Program: Health

Plan of Work: Building life skills among all ages

Outcome: Initial Outcome

We are back in the schools for some fantastic programming.  We surveyed the schools in the fall months to determine the level of interest to bring the Progressive Ag Foundation Farm and Home Safety event back to the schools.   The committee met; they were energetic to get back in the schools.

We worked through the schools, the KY FFA Leadership Training Center to host the event indoors.   

We hosted 200 5th graders across the county along with 75 volunteers, including FFA, Auto Mechanic and HOSA students.  We had new presentations and presenters that added life back into the event.  The County sheriff spoke and asked kids if they knew their 911 address.  As a committee, we made the decision to have window clings made up for parents, grandparents, and guardians to write their address and put it on the door of their house or a common area so the visiting youth will know where to send emergency responders.   The biggest win, after setting up this event, the curriculum coordinator for the county said he can always count on the Extension Service to provide positive interactive events for the youth.  Therefore, he has already put us on the books for the Fall of 2022 for the 4th and 5th graders to get everyone ready to roll.
