This presentation will provide an overview of common barriers to planning for the next generation of owners/managers for family-owned farms. It will discuss recent research on what service professionals need from the owners to better serve their succession planning needs. Kirkpatrick will provide practical tools that those supporting farmers can use to get the important and hard conversations started at the farm/family level. The three-step process provides a framework that farm members can follow and break down into smaller action steps. It blends practical\, technical steps with ideas to address the emotional and personal dynamics that can derail succession planning.  \nIntended Audience: Anyone who wants to learn about the human side of farm succession planning and learn about tools and strategies to help farmers start important conversations. (Extension educators\, agricultural service professionals\, mental healthcare providers\, healthcare providers)  \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nBetter understand the stresses of farming with family and planning for succession. \nProvide resources to their farming clientele about succession planning. \nIncrease their awareness of common tensions of succession planning. \nIncrease their awareness of tools and resources they can use with their farming clientele. \nRecognize the barriers to succession planning are more than the technical or transactional components. \n\nPresenter: Joy Kirkpatrick\, MS\, Farm Succession Outreach Specialist\, University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension  \n  \n Watch the Recording Here \n  \n\nContinuing Education: The University of Cincinnati\, Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences\, Education and Research Center offers 1.0 contact hours for this activity.

Ag equipment is much larger and heavier than personal vehicles.  As agriculture changes\, even in rural areas\, there are fewer residents that are familiar with ag equipment and may not have an understanding how the equipment on the roadway can affect them.  A decision to pass\, follow closely\, or failure to provide space when meeting equipment on a two-lane road can have consequences.  Furthermore\, as metropolitan areas expand further into agriculture communities\, farmers will meet even more personal vehicles in places they are not expecting them that are not aware of the precautions that they need to take when meeting or passing ag equipment.  Farmers also have responsibility when driving on rural roadways\, they need to be aware of vehicles around them\, how much of the road they are taking up\, and that they are using the equipment’s lighting and signage properly. This webinar is to provide an understanding of where the interaction between agriculture machines and non-rural traffic is occurring\, what are some of the more common types of incidents that are occurring\, and what resources are available to reduce ag equipment and regular vehicle incidents.  \nIntended Audience:  Driving public\, producers\, and ag service providers  \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nTypes of roadway incidents involving ag equipment that occur \nWhere many of these incidents occur \nThe lighting and marking available on modern agricultural equipment \nWhat resources are available to help producers be seen on roadways. \n\nPresenter: Ed Brokesh\, PhD\, MBA\, BS Ag Engineering\nAssistant Professor\, Carl and Melinda Helwig Bio and Ag Engineering Department\, Kansas State University  \n  \n Watch the Recording Here \n  \n\nContinuing Education: The University of Cincinnati\, Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences\, Education and Research Center offers 1. 0 contact hours for this activity.

Toxicity Category I and II organophosphates (OPs) and N-methyl carbamates are cholinesterase-inhibiting insecticides commonly used in agriculture to kill insects or prevent them from damaging or destroying crops. Over-exposure to these chemicals results in the inhibition of the enzyme cholinesterase (ChE) which is utilized in the body’s conducting tissue\, such as nerve and muscle motor sensory fibers. Acute toxic effects can include confusion\, headache\, and even loss of consciousness. Severe inhibition of ChE in the body can result in muscle paralysis\, respiratory failure\, seizures\, coma\, and death. Currently\, there is no practice standard or national medical surveillance program for cholinesterase monitoring. \nPurpose: This webinar will review cholinesterase testing and monitoring protocols based on programs from both California and Washington. Presenters will discuss ChE and its function in the body\, routes of exposure\, who is at risk\, signs and symptoms\, treatments\, and prevention of exposure. Most importantly\, presenters will share an established and recently updated protocol algorithm to guide your medical monitoring program. This protocol is designed to create awareness among your workers\, set standards based on acceptable safe practices\, and reduce incidents in the workplace. \nOutcomes: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to … \n\nSelf-report an increased understanding of the health risks of cholinesterase (ChE)-inhibiting pesticide exposure and need for regular monitoring.\nSelf-report an increased understanding of the use of a protocol and the ChE monitoring algorithm\n\nIntended Audience: Occupational safety managers\, emergency service providers\, doctors\, nurses\, nurse practitioners\, physician assistants\, and educators whose practice will be enhanced with the most current information on cholinesterase exposure and management \nContinuing Medical Education: This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the Minnesota Medical Association and AgriSafe Network. The Minnesota Medical Association (MMA) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. \nThe Minnesota Medical Association designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.
