What is a Progressive Agriculture Safety Day?

Progressive Agriculture Safety Days is an educational program that provides training and resources for local communities to conduct one-day safety and health programs. Safety Days are designed to be age-appropriate, hands-on, fun, and safe for children. The Progressive Agriculture Safety Day program is the largest rural safety and health education program for children in North America.
