NYS
AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY SEEKS NY FARMS WITH SUCCESSFUL
FARM SAFETY PROGRAMS; $500 AWARDS
Applications
Due: July 1, 2008
Agricultural Safety and Health are important issues to the New
York State Agricultural Society. The benefits of a planned and meaningful
farm safety program don't end with reducing simple injuries and
down time; the rewards often include saving lives of family members
and employees. The Society's Farm Safety Award recognizes New York
farm operators who have unique and successful farm safety programs
for their employees. Applications must be submitted by July 1 and
include a summary of farm safety programs and activities. Nominees
are evaluated, and up to 2 farms are selected to receive recognition
and a cash award of $500 per farm, sponsored by Cargill, Inc.
To
apply or nominate someone, visit www.nysagsociety.org
(Awards & Contests, Farm Safety). Applications are available online
or can be requested by contacting the Society's Executive Secretary,
Penny Heritage, at 518-384-1715.
The Society's mission is to improve New York agriculture through
education, leadership development and recognition programs; the
organization has been strengthening our state's agriculture since
1832. For more information or to join the Society please visit www.nysagsociety.org.
