three dead 22 injured in accidents on farm by jim jenkins s extension assistant ont dept of agriculture at an ontario farm safety council zone meeting held at woodstock last tuesday the following figures were released they were the results of a four county survey in 1967 throughout southwestern ontario there were 29 road accidents involving farm vehjclesthe mechanical damage was valued at si 28000 three fatalities and 22 people injured insignificant no really when you consider the number of farm tractors which do travel on our public roads the loss of life loss of tim and damage to farm machinery is critical every farmer and urbanite must do their utrtiost to lower this rate possibly if we looked at the causes of these accidents we might see where we are at fault in several pf the cases faulty steering on the tractor was to blame in other cases the lack of lights on the rear of combines wagons and even tractors was the cause and in one instance a fanner with a wagon in tow made a faulty left hand turn thw resulted in one fatality september 1 the use of slow moving vehicle signs became law in ontario no doubt this will hive an effect on the above figures but this still does not mean that a farmer can be any less cautious with the operation of his machinery on public roads area herds jersey winners at royal there was a strong contingent of winners in the jersey classes at
