ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS ON THE FARM

In this interactive activity adapted from the National Library of Medicine, explore the environmental hazards found on farms, including agricultural runoff, barns and silos, crop fields, farm animals, farm ponds, feeding operations, homes, landfills, and off-road vehicles.

 

Discussion Questions

  • What are some examples of hazards on a farm that are also commonly found in other locations?
  • How do you think the number and types of farm hazards have changed over time?
  • How do you think farmers could minimize the hazards on their farms?
