She also highlights the need for clear communication and the importance of prioritizing safety for kids on the farm. The conversation concludes with a discussion on farm safety statistics and incidences. The conversation with Angie Johnson covers various topics related to farm safety. The underreporting of agricultural injuries is highlighted as a challenge due to the lack of a federal reporting system for small farm operations.
