The Agriculture Safety Trailer is available for business, organizations, farms, and individuals to bring an ag safety curriculum or day as a training for their employees, students, or as a part of an event they are hosting. 

Current programs for the Agriculture Safety Trailer include:

  • Grain Bin Safety - This illustrates the strength that is needed to pull a person out of a grain bin once they've been entrapped
  • Gravity Wagon Grain Flow - This demonstrates how easy it is for a person to get pulled under grain when emptying a gravity flow wagon
  • Auger Safety - This simulates how articles of clothing can be caught on an auger and get pulled into it
  • Agriculture Chemical Safety - This shows the importance of labeling chemicals and how a chemical may look like everyday non-chemical items.  It also stresses the importance of using personal protective equipment (PPE) when there is exposure to chemicals.
  • Pinch Points - This is an exhibit with pulleys and sprockets showing various pinch points when using these items
