With a death rate of 22.7 per 100,000 workers, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has deemed agriculture as the second most dangerous occupation in the nation for adults and children. Here are some farm safety tips for kids:

•No seat, no rider. Do not allow children to be extra riders on farm equipment, even if they are helping with chores.

•Keep small children from playing on, in or under machinery or equipment. Provide a safe-play area.

•Know where children are before starting machinery and farm vehicles.

•Train and closely supervise youths who will be operating farm machinery and equipment.

•Keep ladders out of reach.

•Keep small children away from large animals, particularly animals that have recently given birth.

•Do not let children under age 12 operate an ATV.

•Keep children from playing on, or in, silos and grain bins or wagons.

•Do not leave children unsupervised around farm ponds or manure pits.

•Hold monthly farm safety review sessions.
