SUMMARY:Webinar: Tick Bites\, Meat Allergy\, and Caring for Livestock: What Farmers and Ranchers Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS)  is an emerging tick-borne allergy to alpha-gal\, a sugar found in mammals and products derived from them. These products include food\, drugs\, personal care and other products. Up to half a million Americans are estimated to be affected by AGS; most live in high-prevalence states in the South\, Midwest\, and East Coast. \nFarmers are at higher risk of tick bites and developing AGS. For farmers\, AGS is not just a food allergy\, it’s an occupational allergy. Reactions fluids\, waste\, and dander from livestock can make caring for them difficult. In this seminar\, we will provide an introduction to AGS\, share tips on avoiding it\, and hear from farmers and ranchers about the challenges of farming with AGS and how to manage them. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will understand… \n\nThe basics of alpha-gal syndrome\nWhen and how to seek a diagnosis\nHow farmers cope with AGS\nNext-level tick bite avoidance tips\n\nIntended Audience: Farmers and ranchers\, hunters\, park rangers\, foresters\, surveyors\, line workers\, gardeners\, hikers\, and other people with outdoor jobs and hobbies. \nMeet the Presenters: \n–Sharon Forsyth\, Executive Director\, Alpha-gal Alliance \n–Candice Matthis\, Co-founder\, Alpha-gal Foundation \n–Debbie Nichols\, Co-founder\, Alpha-gal Foundation \n  \n Register  \n  \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.

SUMMARY:Webinar: What Happens When Farmers Get Hurt\, Sick\, or Burned Out? The Example of the French Substitute Farmer Program
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Farming is one of the most dangerous occupations but also one of the most stressful. Yet\, we often hear that farmers work through injuries\, illnesses\, or burnout even though doing so can delay recovery and in some cases\, worsen their condition. In this webinar\, Florence Becot from Pennsylvania State University and Andy Bater a member of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau Board will discuss why farmers continue working despite health challenges and highlight the importance of developing substitute labor solutions to support farmers’ well-being and farm business viability. As an example of a long-established model\, Julien Deroo and Karim Cheurfa Molinier will present the French substitute farmer program\, la “Fédération des Services de Remplacement”. Started 50 years ago\, this network of 300 non-profit organizations across France serves a dual purpose. First\, it provides substitute labor so that work on the farm can continue while farmers regain their health as well as when they need to be away from the farm for other purposes. Second\, it serves as a workforce development platform for the agricultural sector as many of the substitute farmers earn practical experience in addition to their school training and/or already have hands-on farming experience. \nCreated by farmers for farmers and managed by them through a mix of funding sources\, its membership includes 67\,000 farmer members (15% of the farming population in France) and 15\,000 substitute farmers\, and it has facilitated the substitution of 5 million work hours on farms last year. Agnes Papone\, a farmer and elected representative of a “Service de Remplacement” in the southeast of France\, will then share her family’s experience using the program. We will leave time for an interactive discussion with the audience about opportunities and challenges to develop substitute farmer programs in the U.S. \nIntended Audience: Farmer health and safety professionals\, AgrAbility and FRSAN programs\, CDC NIOSH Ag centers\, researchers\, representatives of farmer organizations\, state and federal agencies of agriculture\, staffers of legislators on agricultural committees \nObjectives: At the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nDiscuss factors impacting farmers’ ability to take time off to recover from health-related challenges.\nDescribe the long-established French substitute farmer program to support farmers’ well-being and their farm operation’s viability. This includes how its goals\, structure\, and funding mode.\nDiscuss opportunities and challenges to develop labor substitute programs in the U.S.\n\nMeet the Presenters: \n-Florence Becot\, PhD\, MS\, Rural Sociologist\, Nationwide Insurance Early Career Professor in Agricultural Safety and Health\, Pennsylvania State University \n-Andy Bater\, Board Director\, Pennsylvania Farm Bureau District 6 Board \n-Karim Cheurfa Molinier\, MS\, Advisor\, Service de Remplacement France \n-Julien Deroo\, Project Manager\, Service de Remplacement France \n-Agnès Papone\, Voluntary Secretary General\, Service de Remplacement France \n  \n Register  \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Farm Equipment Hits the Highway: Growing Risks and Smarter Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Tractors and other large ag machines are spending more time on public roads than ever before. As farms expand and equipment grows in size\, the risks on rural roadways continue to rise\, not just for farmers but for the entire motoring public. This session will explore how design solutions\, especially those connected to lighting and marking design standards\, reduce collision risk. We’ll unpack crash data\, examine discrepancies between federal and state requirements\, and highlight recent NHTSA regulations that focus national attention on these issues. We’ll also explore new risks associated with trailering\, longer transport routes\, and the safety implications of the accelerating shift toward autonomous and robotic machinery. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n Describe how changes in farm size\, equipment design\, and changes in rural communities contribute to increased roadway travel and higher collision risk. \n Explain the purpose and impact of consensus design standards and how alignment (or misalignment) with state regulations can influence roadway safety outcomes. \n Identify new roadway safety concerns tied to equipment trailering\, larger machines\, and longer travel distances across spread-out farm operations. \n Assess how automation and robotics in agriculture will introduce both new risks and promising safety solutions—and how policy\, like California’s current occupational safety tractor rules\, will shape their future use. \nIntended audience: Farmers\, policymakers\, extension educators\, engineers from equipment companies\, law enforcement\, clinicians\, health professionals\, agricultural association leaders\, agribusiness professionals\, insurance loss control/underwriters\, vo-ag instructors\, machinery dealers \nMeet the Presenter: Dr. John Shutske\, Agricultural Safety & Health Specialist and Professor\, University of Wisconsin-Madison \n Watch the Recording  \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Wheels of Misfortune: Off-Road Vehicles on Public Roadways
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Off-road vehicles\, including all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility task vehicles (UTVs) are extremely popular and a common source of injury and death in rural areas\, especially farms and ranches. While the use of ATVs/UTVs on public roadways increases the likelihood of a crash with another vehicle\, the majority of roadway deaths and an even higher proportion of injuries on public roads are single ATV/UTV crashes not involving another motor vehicle. \nATVs/UTVs are designed for off-road use only\, and manufacturers have strongly stated that they should not be operated on public roadways. In fact\, the majority of deaths associated with these vehicles occur on public roads. Despite this\, an increasing number of states\, counties\, and municipalities across the country are passing laws allowing ATVs/UTVs to operate on public roadways for transportation and recreational purposes. During this presentation\, we will discuss the safety issues surrounding ATVs/UTVs on public roads and\, in particular\, the design elements of ATVs/UTVs that place their operators at greater risk on public roads. We will discuss how rural families can help protect themselves\, their families\, and employees from ATV/UTV-related crashes and injury. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n List at least three design features of ATVs and UTVs that contribute to crashes and subsequent injury\, and be able to discuss how these features make ATVs/UTVs vulnerable to problems on both paved and unpaved roads. \n Identify at least three other factors that contribute to ATV/UTV-related crashes and injuries\, and how they might decrease the risk to themselves\, their families\, and employees. \n Understand and appreciate ATV/UTV safety messages they might share with others\, and how they could be effective advocates for informed safety legislation regarding ATVs/UTVs. \nIntended audience: Farmers\, ranchers\, parents\, agriculture production workers\, healthcare providers\, emergency medical services\, public health officials\, government and legislative leaders\, administrators \nMeet the Presenter: Charles Jennissen\, MD\, Clinical Professor and Pediatric Emergency Medicine Physician\, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine \n Watch the Recording  \nTo register for this training\, you must have a free account in the AgriSafe Learning Lab.
