Farms are fun places. There is all that sunshine, fresh air, and lots of room to run around.But on farms, you'll see they're also places where work gets done. Some of that work involves equipment that can be dangerous if someone doesn't know how to be safe.
Kids who live on farms really need to know what it takes to be safe. They probably help out on the farm and need to know the safety rules that can prevent injuries.According to the National Safety Council, farming is one of America's most hazardous jobs.Kids ages 10 to 14 are at high risk for injury, often because they take on a job or task that they aren't ready to handle.
Be careful where you play and don't go out to work on the farm on your own. If you're helping out, don't try to use equipment or tackle big projects if you haven't been properly trained. If there's a job you really want to do, such as driving a tractor, you'll probably have to wait until you get a little older.
