http://www.fencingsolutions.com

Extractions: Although there are many pasture fencing styles to choose from, most are not optimized for horses. We manufacture and distribute high quality products to add safety and security to horse fencing to reduce horse injuries and excessive maintenance. You can build an attractive, inexpensive fence or arena yourself that is secure and increases the value of your property. By utilizing the strength and security of non-climb and the beauty and safety of white vinyl we have produced the perfect hybrid fencing solution that you see pictured here, a new fence style that we call "Equi-Fence". It is important to note here that Equi-Tee manufactures and markets only one component of the "Equi-fence" system, the adapter Because of the high cost of freight, it is not economical for us to sell you the top rails, t-posts and non-climb wire. These components will need to be acquired locally, however; many companies will supply you with a nearby dealer address . A quick estimate of the cost of a fence is approximately $3.25 per lineal foot

Extractions: Fact Sheet No. OSHA 91-39 There are approximately 3.1 million men and women who work on America's 2.3 million farms and ranches. According to Accident Facts published in 1990 by the National Safety Council, farm accidents and other work-related health problems claim as many as 1300 lives and cause 120,000 injuries a year, most of which are preventable. Farmers must handle a variety of agricultural chemicals and other toxic and/or irritating substances. Many materials are hazardous and can be fatal if not used and stored properly, especially with inquisitive youngsters around. Farmers are also exposed to dust, sun, noise, and other farming health hazards. According to a report published by the National Safety Council in its "Accident Facts" 1989 edition, machinery overturns have the highest fatality rate. This fact was contained in a 1988 report for 10 states. These ten states contained one third of the tractors located in the United States. General Statistics of Farm Accidents

When you hear about hypothermia, you usually envision someone stranded in a terrible winter storm. However, hypothermia can occur when it's wet, windy and up to 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This condition is most common in cold weather, but infants and the elderly can develop hypothermia at temperatures greater than 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Extractions: When you hear about hypothermia, you usually envision someone stranded in a terrible winter storm. However, a form of hypothermia can occur when it's wet, windy and up to 50 or 60 degrees Fahrenheit. This condition is most common in cold weather, but infants and the elderly can develop hypothermia at temperatures greater thasmv.htmgrees Fahrenheit. Hypothermia develops when a person gets so chilled that their body is unable to warm up and their natural defenses against cooling start to fail. The chilling conditions of hypothermia set in when the body loses heat faster than it retains heat. Farmers and others who work outside for hours at a time are the most susceptible to hypothermia.

Turkey -- From Farm To Freezer

Extractions: Washington, D.C. 20250-3700 Food Safety Features Slightly Revised October 2001 Turkey - From Farm To Freezer "How long can a turkey be kept in the freezer?" This question is often heard by the food safety specialists answering USDAs Meat and Poultry Hotline. Although the optimum freezing time for quality best flavor and texture is 1 year, consumers are usually surprised to learn that, from a safety standpoint, frozen turkeys may be kept indefinitely in a freezer. Callers ask hundreds of other questions about turkeys from the time they are hatched on the farm until they make it home to the freezer. Although turkey is enjoyed year round, the peak time for buying, cooking, and storing whole turkeys is the November and December holiday season. This is the time we see a large increase in the number of whole turkeys for sale in our local grocery stores. To ensure that the supply of whole birds is adequate to meet consumer holiday demands, each year during the month of May, millions of turkey eggs are put into incubators. After about 4 weeks of incubation, a baby turkey (poult) is hatched. The poults are then moved from the hatcheries to barns that are environmentally controlled, providing maximum protection from predators, disease, and bad weather. For the next 4 to 5 months (depending on the desired market weight), these turkeys roam freely around the barn, eating their way through many pounds of feed (consisting mainly of corn and soybean meal along with a supplement of vitamins and minerals).

Farm Safety
If you ve ever spent time on a farm, you know they re fascinating places. But youneed to know your safety rules if you re working on one or just visiting.
http://kidshealth.org/kid/watch/out/farm_safety.html

Extractions: Farms are fun places - with all that fresh air, sunshine, and room to run around. But they're also places where real work gets done. And some of that work involves equipment that can be dangerous if someone doesn't know how to be safe. Kids who live on farms really need to know these rules. They probably help out on the farm and need to know the safety rules that can prevent injuries. According to the National Safety Council, farming is one of America's most hazardous jobs. Kids ages 10 to 14 are at high risk for injury, often because they take on a job or task that they aren't ready to handle. If you do work on a farm, listen to parents or other supervisors. Be careful where you play. And if you're helping out, don't try to use equipment or tackle big projects if you haven't been properly trained. If there's a job you really want to do, such as driving a tractor, you may have to wait until you get a little older. Safety Around Equipment
