• Description:
  High-quality research has been at the heart of the National Farm Medicine Center's mission for many years. While research into what is dangerous in agriculture continues, it is becoming less about discovering what is dangerous and more an effort in getting people to modify their safety behavior in a very hazardous industry. We have broadened our mission statement to reflect this need to translate knowledge into behavioral change, always a challenging task, and more so in an industry where tradition sometimes retards the adoption of safer methods. Our new mission statement, with new areas in bold: "The National Farm Medicine Center will be a national resource, conducting high quality research, developing and delivering health and safety information, exploring innovative service models and effecting broad change to improve human health and safety associated with rural and agricultural work, life and environments." Part of our revised mission is to find what will motivate all farmers to make safer decisions. One tangible example of that type of research is our Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) Rebate Program, launched at the beginning of 2013. It is a practical solution to the serious and preventable problem of death from tractor rollovers. We continue to build on the success of our long-time programs, such as the National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety, and to offer new solutions, including Agricultural Safety Consulting services.
