Linda Fetzer, Abbie Spackman, and Kendra Martin attended the Child Ag Injury Prevention workshop held in Hershey, PA, in mid-September. All three women had a chance to present and lead discussions on several topics surrounding the prevention of, and attention to, child ag injuries and general farm safety topics for all ages on the farm. Thanks to the National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health for hosting this important workshop.

Jaylen, who helps her parents on their farm, Blue Dog Farms, is a self-described "differently-abled" farm girl who overcomes challenges and obstacles with grace and dignity. Isn't it awesome to see a young person eager about agriculture!
