Florida farmers employ 196 pounds of pesticides to grow an acre of tomatoes, according to federal figures. In contrast, California, the country's top agricultural producer, uses 51 pounds. An acre of California oranges requires 18 pounds of those active chemical ingredients, while Florida oranges need 71 pounds an acre. agriculture Tue, 3 May 2005 13:56:00 GMT http://www.injuryhelpline.com/index.rwl?category=news&section=agriculture&article=farm+workers+fearful+to+report+pesticide+exposure+injuries&id=530 Farmworkers have more to worry about than anyone else when it comes to pesticides. Many Florida workers interviewed in recent weeks say they are affected by agrichemicals. Workers almost never report incidents of pesticide exposure because they are afraid of being fired. Despite the recent passage of state laws allowing farmworkers to ask for information on the pesticides being used around them, the workers rarely do so. agriculture Tue, 3 May 2005 13:54:00 GMT http://www.injuryhelpline.com/index.rwl?category=news&section=agriculture&article=girl+scout+camping+accident+leads+to+hospitalizations&id=476 Seagoville members of the Girl Scouts of the Tejas Council taking part in a wildflower tour at Fort Parker State Park near Mexia were involved in an accident when a bed trailer came loose from the truck that was pulling it and struck a tree, said Lydia Saldana, director of communications for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. agriculture Wed, 27 Apr 2005 09:10:00 GMT http://www.injuryhelpline.com/index.rwl?category=news&section=agriculture&article=farm+accident+leaves+two+men+in+critical+condition&id=465 A farm accident sent two Iowa men to the hospital with critical injuries. agriculture Wed, 27 Apr 2005 08:39:00 GMT http://www.injuryhelpline.com/index.rwl?category=news&section=agriculture&article=farmer+killed+in+tractor+accident&id=452 A 41-year-old part-time farmer died when he fell from his tractor near his home in Maine and got trapped under one of its rear wheels. agriculture Tue, 26 Apr 2005 07:48:00 GMT http://www.injuryhelpline.com/index.rwl?category=news&section=agriculture&article=efforts+to+reduce+accidents+on+rural+farm-to-market+roads+subject+of+safety+councils+meeting&id=363 A newly-formed regional transportation safety council which is overseen by the Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation (PART) met for the first time on April 4, 2005 and immediately began looking for ways to reduce the number of farm vehicle-related traffic injuries and fatalities and to improve overall safety on the Piedmont Triad's rural roads. The council, which will be funded by PART and will likely meet quarterly for the next eighteen to twenty-four months, will seek to join its safety efforts with those of state and federal agencies with the same goal in mind: cutting traffic fatalities and serious injuries, particularly those occurring on the Triad's rural roads. agriculture Fri, 15 Apr 2005 09:12:00 GMT
