Progressive Agriculture Safety Day is an event that teaches 4^th grade students from Marion County about being safe in their community, home, and on the farm. Our rural community is in need of a program such as this to ensure youth have the proper skill set to stay safe while on the farm. During this event each child has the opportunity to visit several stations to learn safe behaviors when they are faced with different scenarios. Some of the stations included equipment safety, electrical safety, water safety, grain bin safety, firearm safety, internet safety, and several more. The grain bin safety session is one that is particularly important for our community as we lost a fellow farmer a few years ago due to a grain bin accident. Students are given the opportunity during this station to try to pull a toy figurine trapped in a barrel of grain to show the difficulty that is present in a real life situation. A strong take home message of being aware of your surroundings is captured in this lesson. Another station that is very popular for students is the electrical safety demonstration. The local emergency service agencies bring out equipment such as an ambulance and fire truck so that students can be familiar with them and now scared if they are in an emergency situation. This event could not be possible without the help of many local businesses and organizations. Marion Co. FFA members are present to help with the flow of students throughout the day and some even help teach sessions. Organizations such as Farm Bureau and the Conservation District send Board members out to help with sessions as well. This program would not be possible without the financial sponsorship and helping hands from this community. This field day is able to impact many students since it is open to all 4^th grade students in Marion Co. In 2019 we had 305 total participants. We are also able to have a diverse group by having 253 white, 16 African American, 3 Asian, 17 Mixed Race, and 15 Hispanic students. We also pulled a large number of volunteers in from the community to help with the project totaling 69. Overall this program is a huge success for our county by teaching the students to be safe in their surroundings. Students will be able to use the lessons they learned from this program for their entire life.
