Ag and Food: Yesterday, Today but What About Tomorrow?
“When I was growing up in the 1940s in rural Missouri, we had a local food system. Most of what we ate was grown, hunted, fished, or foraged on our farm. Most of the rest was grown and processed within about 50 miles of our farm. There were local meat processors and locker plants, dairy processing plants, fruit and vegetable canneries, and even local flour mills. Coffee, tea, spices, some canned and packaged foods, and occasional bananas and oranges came from elsewhere. My best guess is that at least 75% of what we ate in the 1940s was homegrown or grown and processed locally.”

Level Up Safety During Planting
(NAFB.com) – Whether current spring conditions have a number of tractors parked or in fields, it’s going to be a fast-paced planting season this spring. While the planting season can seem routine, the ag industry is always prone to risks, accidents, severe injuries, and even death. The University of Illinois Extension released a list of safety measures to implement during planting. Some steps include moving equipment when there is less traffic and making sure to use hazard lights, active turn signals, all mirrors, and add reflective tape. Drive on mapped-out routes from fields typically containing less traffic and identify areas where the equipment can be pulled over safely. Make sure to avoid distractions like cell phones and radios. For drivers who encounter moving farm equipment, slow down when approaching that equipment. Allow extra time for traveling or take alternate routes to destinations in rural areas during farming seasons. Most of all, be patient.

Paramedics Express Concern Over Policy Changes
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – Recent changes to training for Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) leave some paramedics and other first responders with questions. Paramedic Mike Sandy has been the Oakes Ambulance Service’s manager since 2007. He said for a long time, first responders who needed EMR training could take a course, lasting several weeks, through their local ambulance service. He said this was both convenient and free. Now, he’s worried policy changes will deter ambulance volunteers since first responders will have to get accredited at the national level.
