National Farm Safety and Health Week Sept. 15 – 21

Why take chances, when all it takes is a little time and money to protect you from becoming another farm injury statistic. Get a Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt on your tractor! Think of it as a one-time payment on a whole life insurance policy for you and everyone who drives your tractor. ROPS are available for most tractors at cost from your local tractor dealers.
