New studies find farming remains one of the world’s most dangerous professions. Iowa State University Extension agricultural engineer,Chuck Schwab, is reminding Iowans in the industry to slow down and take breaks.

While older farmers may have many decades of experience, Schwab says some of the tasks of farming become much more difficult and dangerous, the older you get.

The same is true with younger generations, he says. The best thing a farmer of any age can do, according to Schwab, is take a break from the action and have a moment of rest.
