FOCUS ON CAUTION DURING HARVEST<br />

BY TOM LAWRENCE<br />

Staff writer<br />

LE MARS — It’s not like they are not aware<br />

of the dangers inherent in their work.<br />

Iowa farmers take precautions and are<br />

sensitive to the need to be careful, especially<br />

at busy times like harvest, according to Iowa<br />

State University Extension and Outreach field<br />

agronomist Leah Ten Napel of Le Mars.<br />

“I think many farmers are aware of safety<br />

issues and do their best to mitigate those risks,<br />

but accidents still happen,” Ten Napel said.<br />
