Wisconsin Farm Fatality Report
Researchers at the National Farm Medicine Center and University of Wisconsin are poised to publish the 2019 and 2020 Wisconsin Farm Fatality Reports in early December. Data sources included Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Bureau of Health Information death certificate registry; clippings from Wisconsin daily and weekly newspapers collected and collated via AgInjuryNews.org.

In 1943, University of Wisconsin Extension Safety Specialists began compiling an annual Wisconsin Farm-Related Fatality Report. Unfortunately, Wisconsin’s agricultural community continues to suffer the loss of individuals who are engaged in farm work or a member of a family farm.

Starting in 2020, the National Farm Medicine Center partnered with University of Wisconsin Extension safety specialists to resume compiling these reports, which can be found here: https://marshfieldresearch.org/nfmc/wi-farm-related-fatality-reports
OPEN ACCESS E-BOOK RELEASE: Frontiers in Public Health
"Safeguarding Youth from Agricultural Injury and Illness: International Experiences"
Injuries and illness affecting children and young adults while in agricultural work environments is a long-standing, worldwide problem. Sharing knowledge on the etiology of injuries along with evidence-based safety strategies can provide valuable information for increasing awareness of problems and their solutions. This special issue explores perspectives and strategies from multiple countries that have analyzed childhood agricultural injury data, employed novel research methods, applied theoretical frameworks for testing safety strategies, and described proven safety programs and resources. More importantly, this collection of papers lays the groundwork for international collaborations that safeguard youth from agricultural injury and illness.
