Thanks for joining us, This is Jake Putnam, pull up a chair, and welcome to this week's podcast, coming to you from my little office a block from the Statehouse.

This week marks farm safety week across Idaho. The American Farm Bureau is reminding farmers and ranchers about the importance of safety and health. Micheal Clements has this story about how Farm Bureau is helping keep farmers and ranchers and their communities safe during planting season and throughout the year.

I went and visited long-time Canyon County farmer Sid Freeman. I can remember going out to his farm 15 years ago, his fellow farmers were alarmed by all the accidents they were having during planting and harvest seasons. They put together a safety program and it still exists today—

Good insight from Farmer Sid Freeman…If you’re driving in farm country, slow down, be patient, and live to drive another day.

That's it for this week's podcast, If you have a comment, email me at [email protected]…For the Voice of Idaho Agriculture, I'm Jake Putnam
