Success StoryWork and Play Safely



Work and Play Safely

Author: James Cecil

Planning Unit: Clinton County CES

Major Program: Agriculture 4-H Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Livestock, Poultry & Crops

Outcome: Initial Outcome

I partnered with our local County Agriculture Agent and FFA Teacher to help put on a farm safety day.  We had our 4-H Adventure Club Kids and FFA Students to help us set up, tear down and teach stations for all of the 5th and 6th grade students.  We had live stock safety, grain bin safety, tractor roll over safety, 4-Wheeler safety and chainsaw safety.  The students taught all the stations.  They came two hours before the safety day begun and were trained on their station so tHey could teach the other students.  

We had 346 5th and 6th grade students and volunteers to participate in the farm safety.  The surprise for the day was that Mrs Kentucky made an apparent wearing riding safety gear and the kids were very surprised and loved it.  Mrs Kentucky made a huge impact on the students and explained to them that their safety is their responsibility and the importance of wearing proper safety gear.
