“Safety First, Avoid the Worst,” the theme of 2025 National Farm Safety & Health Week (September 22-26), underscores the crucial role of safety resources in protecting America’s farms, families, and rural communities. At Stroud National Agency, Inc., we know insurance agents play a key part in farm safety. Therefore, we provide market access, farm safety resources, and ongoing support to help you safeguard your clients and their communities.
The Story Behind National Farm Health and Safety Week
Since 1944, National Farm Safety & Health Week has raised awareness for agricultural safety and education. It is led by the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS). Each year, the third week of September brings together stakeholders across ag communities to address safety priorities ranging from equipment and roadway safety to health, wellness, and workplace hazards.
