Front-page pictures discourage farm safety
We thought we would let you know we find fault with the pictures on the front of the May 27 issue of Farm World. We know these pictures were probably posed for your paper, but it certainly doesn’t speak for the safety of children on farm vehicles. These older tractors do not have cabs and probably should not have someone riding on the fender with no protection. We emphasize farm safety and just question these pictures. Thanks for a great paper which we enjoy reading.
