Successful Farming magazine, a long-time supporter of Farm Safety 4 Just Kids, Urbandale, Iowa, has renewed its commitment to the farm safety movement. Successful Farming, a Meredith Corporation publication, serves the diverse business, production, and information needs of farming and ranching families. In addition to the financial contribution, Successful Farming donates in-kind advertising space and features articles about Farm Safety 4 Just Kids at various times throughout the year.

"Successful Farming has been a long-time partner of Farm Safety 4 Just Kids," said Dave Schweitz, executive director of Farm Safety 4 Just Kids. "Their support is critical to sharing the farm safety message within the industry."

Farm Safety 4 Just Kids was created in 1987 by Marilyn Adams after the death of her 11-year-old son in a gravity flow grain wagon accident. The organization works to raise awareness about the health and safety hazards that are an inherent part of the rural environment in which children live, work, and play. Nine outreach coordinators and over 120 chapters in the United States and Canada conduct safety and health programs within their communities

Thanks to the support of agri-business sponsors like Monsanto Farm Safety 4 Just Kids is able to provide their volunteers with up to date and pertinent safety education and demonstration resources.
