Members of the Luverne High School FFA Chapter teamed up to present 10 safety demonstrations on the school campus Wednesday morning, May 3, during the chapter’s annual Farm Safety Day. “A lot of kids don’t have the experience of what could go wrong when they’re around farm equipment and animals,” said Chapter President JT Remme. To illustrate the dangers, the FFA members dropped a small soybean stubble bale into a bale shredder. “This is a nightmare scenario,” Remme told the fourth-graders. No one knew Billy the Bale was inside the shredder and the key was left in the tractor. In addition to the bale shredder, FFA students demonstrated the dangers around a semitrailer, grain wagon, hay rake, skid loader, livestock trailer, silage chopper, manure spreader, drone and farm animals (pig, chickens, a calf and two donkeys).
