Podcasts about farm safety

Fertilizer supply chains have been anything but stable this year. For many growers, that makes on-farm storage not just a convenience, but a strategic advantage. But storing fertilizer isn't as simple as putting it in a bin and forgetting about it. So how do you preserve its quality over time, especially in humid conditions?   Find out on this episode of The Dirt with your host, Mike Howell, and Nutrien Senior Agronomist, Lyle Cowell. Join them as they explore the real-world challenges and benefits of fertilizer storage, from managing product blends and minimizing moisture risks to equipment and application considerations.   You'll learn how and why fertilizers clump, the two primary ways they absorb moisture, how to prevent moisture absorption and what simple steps can make a big difference in fertilizer storability, flowability and safety, particularly in Western Canada.   Looking for the latest in crop nutrition research?

This week on The American Family Farmer, host Doug Stephan welcomes Warren Eckstein, Pet Behaviorst and Host of The Pet Show. The discussion starts off dispelling the false concept that animals don't share many of the emotions humans have, but also the beautiful friendship and comradely we have with our animal friends and animal family members. When summer temperatures soar, it's not just humans who suffer — farm animals, barn cats, and loyal working dogs are all vulnerable to heat stress. This week on the American Family Farmer, host Doug Stephan is joined by internationally renowned pet behaviorist Warren Eckstein to talk about how to keep your animals safe and healthy during extreme heat.From simple solutions like shade and clean water to advanced cooling strategies, Warren shares practical, humane tips every farmer can implement. He also breaks down the critical early warning signs of heatstroke in animals and what to do if your livestock or pets are at risk. Warren's four decades of experience — including working with celebrities and serving as a longtime expert on national TV and radio — make him one of the most trusted voices in animal care. Tune in for a conversation that's as informative as it is heartfelt. Learn more: ThePetShow.com Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

In February 2022 Fred was changing a tractor tyre when the jack failed and his arm was trapped and crushed for a considerable amount of time. Surgery took 8 ½ hours to insert a metal plate and 32 screws to his arm. Severe nerve damage left him without any feeling in his hand. His story is certainly one of resilience, both personally and in terms of his business. The figures quoted in the episode are from 2023. Here are the updated figures:HSE 2024/25 RIDDOR report 23 (18.5%) of total (124) work related fatalities were from Agriculture, forestry and fishing.Regionally, the South West is the second highest region in England after the North West with 16 of total work-related injuries.Most common cause : Falls from a height, struck by moving object and trapped by something collapsing/overturningFor more info visit: Work-related fatal injuries in Great Britain, 2025 Farming Focus is the podcast for farmers in the South West of England, but is relevant for farmers outside of the region or indeed anyone in the wider industry or who has an interest in food and farming. For more information on Cornish Mutual visit cornishmutual.co.ukFor our podcast disclaimer click here. If you'd like to send us an email you can contact us at podcast@cornishmutual.co.uk

What if we treated safety not as a box to tick, but as a culture to lead?    For Rebecca Fing, this isn't a theoretical question — it's the heart of her life's work. From her base in Goondiwindi, Rebecca and her team at House Paddock Training & Consulting have spent two decades helping farm families lift their game in HR, business strategy, and importantly — work health and safety.    This episode is a full-bodied conversation with someone who's been on over 600 farms and seen it all. Rebecca doesn't just talk compliance — she talks culture. She doesn't just talk paperwork — she talks people.    And the urgency is real. Agriculture employs just 3% of Australia's workforce, yet accounts for 30% of all workplace fatalities. Even more sobering — 75% of those deaths involve machinery. These aren't just numbers. They're reminders that safety isn't something we can afford to “get to later.” Because what's at stake is far too important.    In a world where the urgent often crowds out the important, she makes a powerful case for choosing safety not someday, but today.    We cover:  How to make safety part of your everyday rhythm — not a once-a-year task  Why consistent follow-through matters more than a polished folder on a shelf  How a culture of confidence (not just compliance) can actually save lives  And practical tips on how to make a start today: Google free audits, borrow best practices from other industries, and stop trying to reinvent the wheel.    Rebecca speaks with the kind of clarity and conviction that only comes from lived experience. Her honesty is refreshing, her passion is contagious, and her message is simple: don't wait for a crisis to care.    Whether you're leading a large team or running a family farm, this one will hit home. Because at the end of the day, this isn't about rules — it's about responsibility. And creating a farm culture where everyone gets to go home safe.    Rebecca, thank you for showing us the heart behind the how-to. For reminding us that leading with care is the most powerful form of leadership there is.    To every farm owner listening: make a start. Sloppy success, as Rebecca says, is far better than perfect procrastination.    Keep caring. Keep leading. And keep making farms safer.    Sincerely,    Jeremy Hutchings & the Farm Owners Academy Team 

Tune in as we welcome Fiona and Tom Langsford, winners of the NZ Share Farmers of the Year. Alongside taking out the overall prize, the Langford's also took home the Sustainable Pasture, Business Performance, Environmental Sustainability, People & Culture, Leadership, Farm Safety, Health & Biosecurity, and Experience 2025 Dairy Industry Awards. In this episode, the team share their journey of balancing on-farm excellence at the South Waikato-based dairy operation.Fiona returned to her family's high-performing 262ha, 1,100-cow farm in 2017, taking over management after three weeks of training, focusing on maintaining and refining the already successful system. Tom joined after the arrival of their first child, and together, they have balanced farming with family commitments through job-sharing and strong systems, achieving commendable results while raising three young children. The team delve into their attention to detail in pasture and feeding management led to a farm record production of 510 kg MS per cow this season. Environmental stewardship is at the core of their operation, with significant reductions in water usage and extensive tree planting. Their environmental roadmap extends to 2030, with plans for continued improvements. As they take on a second contract milking role and create advancement opportunities for their staff, Fiona and Tom demonstrate that farming excellence is about strategic vision, communication, and creating systems that work for both people and the environment.

The SA Government announces a $3million fund for dairy farmers owed payments following the collapse of Beston Global Food, a South Australian abattoir among 10 Australian facilities granted access to the Chinese market for the first time, and farmers welcome bipartisan funding promises towards farm safety and a national food plan.

Many farmworkers, particularly those in rural areas, have faced difficulties finding affordable, reliable childcare options due to the demands of farm work, which often includes long, irregular hours. Rural communities often lack sufficient childcare providers, and those that do exist may be too expensive or lack flexibility to accommodate farmers' schedules. Additionally, farm families may have limited access to public childcare assistance programs, as these are often more geared toward urban populations. The intersection of low wages in agricultural labor and limited social services has compounded these issues. Over time, various advocacy groups and policymakers have worked to highlight the need for better childcare access in farm communities, but challenges remain. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Florence Becot, nationwide insurance early career professor in agricultural safety and health and faculty member at Penn State, whose research may shed light on solutions that could reshape how we think about childcare in rural communities.Episode ResourcesLinking Childcare to Farm Children Safety, Marshfield Clinic Research InstituteShort article: ‘Farm families' childcare challenges impacting farm businesses', Penn State UniversityShort article: ‘When and how to safely involve the children on the farm', Penn State University
