Agriculture, which includes crop and livestock production, contin-ues to be one of the most danger-ous occupations in the U.S.

“According to the most recent statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, farming and ranching are the eighth most dan-gerous occupation in our country,” says John Nowatzki, North Dakota State University Extension ag machine systems specialist and a member of Extension’s farm and ranch safety team.

To highlight farm and ranch safety awareness, National Farm Safety and Health Week will be Sept. 20-26. National Farm Safety and Health Week is led by the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS), the agricultural partner of the Nation-al Safety Council.

The NECAS has scheduled the following daily webinars during National Farm Safety and Health Week:

* Monday, Sept. 21 - tractor safety and rural roadway safety

* Tuesday, Sept. 22 - overall farmer health

* Wednesday, Sept. 23 - safety

and health for youth in agricul-ture

* Thursday, Sept. 24 - emergen-cy preparedness in agriculture

* Friday, Sept. 25 - safety and health for women in agriculture

For webinar details and to reg-ister, visit the AgriSafe Network NFSHW webpage at https://learn-ing.agrisafe.org/nfshw2020. A free AgriSafe account is required to access the webinars.

If you are unable to participate in the webinars, the National Educa-tion Center for Agricultural Safety website (https://www.necasag.org/) has information on various agricultural safety topics, includ-ing safety training, rescue pro-grams and farm first-aid kits.

In addition to the resources provided by NECAS, NDSU Exten-sion’s new Farm & Ranch Safety website (https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/extension/farmsafety/) has resources on farm and ranch safety. NDSU Extension agents and specialists from across North Dakota have developed resources, including videos, stickers, fact sheets and producer testimonials, that focus on the many aspects of

farm and ranch safety.NDSU Extension’s farm and

ranch safety team’s fall feature is harvest equipment safety. NDSU Extension agents are working with local agricultural equipment deal-ers, county highway departments, and local farmers and ranchers on how to communicate with employ-ees using hand signals on the job.

NDSU Extension has developed stickers that include the 11 hand signals created by the American Society of Agricultural and Bio-logical Engineers. These stickers are to be placed in tractor cabs, combine cabs and even self-pro-pelled sprayers or trucks.

“The stickers are designed to help equipment operators com-municate in a ‘language’ that both parties will understand to ulti-mately reduce the risk of a farm accident,” says Angie Johnson, NDSU Extension’s agriculture and natural resources agent in Steele County and a member of the farm and ranch safety team.

Contact your local NDSU Exten-sion agent to receive safety materi-als for your farm or ranch.

Webinars Planned for Farm Safety Week, Sept. 20-26

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is asking water recreationists and property own-ers to check for zebra mussels and other aquatic nuisance species when removing boat lifts, docks and other equipment from state waters.

ANS coordinator Ben Holen said zebra mussels attach to hard surfaces that are left in the water for long periods of time, first set-tling in tight spaces and areas that are protected from sunlight. He said this is a great opportunity for members of the public to assist in ANS detection efforts because the earlier a new ANS infestation is detected, the better the chance to contain the spread.

“It makes it easier to do a thor-ough search on equipment when

it’s taken out of the water in fall,” Holen said. “Pay special attention to wheel wells, right angles on frames, and areas otherwise pro-tected from sunlight. Feel for at-tached organisms that have small hair-like structures holding them in place. Small mussels can feel like rough sandpaper, and adults can be as large as 2 inches long.”

Holen said if you think you’ve found a zebra mussel, take pic-tures, write down any relevant information, such as how many were found and where, and report it online at the Game and Fish website gf.nd.gov/ans, or email Holen at bholen@nd.gov.

Zebra mussels are native to the Black and Caspian seas and were introduced to the United States in the mid-1980s. Since then, they

have caused massive damage to infrastructure, increased costs to electric and water users, and altered the ecosystems into which they were introduced. They were first discovered in North Dakota in the Red River in 2015 as a result of downstream drift from infested Minnesota lakes. Most recently, zebra mussels were discovered in Lake Ashtabula in 2019, and Lake LaMoure earlier this year.

“Water recreationists and property owners play a vital role in ANS prevention,” Holen said. “Equipment such as boat lifts and docks are high risk vectors for spreading ANS, especially zebra mussels. When transporting boat lifts or docks, thoroughly inspect, and dry for three weeks before placing in a different waterbody.”
