Farming is a dangerous life-style and occupation for children and adults. Dangerous situations are taken in stride and considered part of life on a family farm. Regulatory and educational programs and funding have been minimal in the United States. Physicians have been a major force in accident-prevention efforts in other segments of society and can be instrumental in preventing farm injuries as well by extending these educational efforts to rural communities.
