Introduction to Agriculture students from Monroe County Technical Center, Greenbrier East High School, and Greenbrier West High School met at the Willowbend Agriculture Innovation Center on Wednesday, October 30 for the first annual Agriculture Safety Day. Sponsored by the Progressive Agriculture Safety Day program, a nationwide program, students rotated through 6 different stations to learn about 8 different safety topics offered by our team of volunteers. Topics covered included ATV safety, hearing and sun safety, tractor and PTO safety, lawn mower safety, and animal handling. Trained volunteers used a curriculum designed to help students understand how safety is vitally important on the farm. They were provided a pre-packed lunch by a donation from Collins Aerospace and each student received a Progressive Ag Safety Day T-Shirt. Thank you to everyone involved from instructor volunteers, to student volunteers, and students for a successful day and we are excited to host future safety days at the farm! If interested in sponsoring or donating to the safety day please contact Brian Wickline or Shawn Hill coordinators of the event for more information on how you can help make our farms safe for future generations!
