The Adair County Cooperative Extension Service collaborated with the Progressive Farmer Foundation, Adair County School System, local businesses, community agencies, and local leaders to conduct the 21^st Farm and Home Safety Days. Fifty adult and Fifty Teen volunteers contributed to the program’s success. 

More than 200 1st-grade and 200 5th-grade students attended the interactive safety booths that addressed fire, tractor, ATV, water, sun, first aid, livestock, health, equipment, substance abuse, and general safety over a two-day period. A pre-survey showed that 94% of the youth who participated in the Safety Day program had never used a fire extinguisher. Each participant received training on the proper way to use and got to use a fire extinguisher. 72% of the participants stated that they never or only sometimes wear a helmet when riding on an ATV. All participants received training on what is the best size helmet for their age and what can happen if they do not wear a helmet.

Among the adults participating in Farm and Home Safety Days, 83% identified one or more changes they plan to adapt to reduce the risk of accidents in their home or farm.   All participants learned how to use and use a fire extinguisher that day.
