Alright friends - show me your battle scars.
What’s the gnarliest injury or near miss you / ‘old mate’ have had on farm?
Augers? Balers? Angle grinders? Snakes?

Farmers, check your balls!No, not just the guys, girls too!
On the worn one, you can just barely make out whats left of the "50mm" stamp.Its worn to hell.Bikes done 40,000km, maybe half towing.
New ball isn't new 😅, but its not worn. It'l do untill we change over to 1 7/8".

That’s right folks: Agricultural chemicals, not managed safely, are dangerous. So lock ‘em up, lift ‘em up, make sure they’re labelled and keep them welllll away from kids and anything else that might make them go bang in the night. ~Alex Thomas @AlexThomasPL #FarmSafetyWeek

COMMON SENSE WITH AG-CHEMICALS #1: Start with safety data sheets and/or suppliers to establish baseline info about the ag-chemical before use - it just makes sense 👌🏼 @AlexThomasPL #NationalFarmSafetyWeek #PlantASeedForSafety

Thanks so much for sharing Lisette... *eye* like what you did there 😜 Happy National Farm Safety Week!! 🎉

Eye eye eye my eyes have sun damage from years working outdoors.
Hats yes, but prescription sunnies not.
Can't undo the cumulative impacts I have now.
But I can encourage YOU to make eye-sun care as important on farm as skin-sun care.
