Farming is one of the most dangerous jobs in America. In addition to the strenuous and heavy physical labor required, modern farming requires exposure to sophisticated – but often dangerous — machinery. Farm accidents may occur in routine day-to-day operations. Or farm accidents may occur as a result of defective farm machinery.
