In 2014, The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 253,000 young workers between the ages of 16 and 24 worked in agriculture.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

Identify physical and psychological developmental factors to consider when employing and training young adults in the agricultural sector.
Define agricultural hazards and exposures that increase the risk of injury and illness among the young worker.
Describe regulatory standards that can promote a safe work environment for young employees.

Agritourism can be a great way to add supplemental income to your farm but it does come with an additional set of responsibilities.

Following the guidelines outlined in the Compendium will help you make your farm as safe as possible for visitors and protect your assets.
At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

Understand what zoonotic diseases are, how they are transmitted, and why they are a potential problem for your farm.
Be aware of the national best practices outlined in the Compendium and available resources to help you follow these guidelines.
Apply these best practices to your farm in order to reduce the risk of illness or injury to visitors.
Understand that the risk will never be zero.
