Farm Safety Rules and Tips

Farms are fun places - with wide open spaces, hidden areas to explore, and cool tractors and barns. Real work gets done on a farm. But they're also places for nature's small creatures like spiders, snakes and fire ants, dangerous farm equipment, sharp fences, and murky creeks and ponds.

So, be careful where you play and follow the rules.
