The Humphrey FFA and Lindsay Holy Family FFA Chapters Host Farm and Home Safety Day

By Travis Classen, Reporter 

            On Thursday October 6, the Humphrey FFA and Lindsay Holy Family FFA chapters hosted their Annual Farm and Home Safety Day.  The Chapters invited the Fourth and Fifth graders from Lindsay Holy Family, Humphrey St. Francis, and Humphrey Public Schools.  Seventy-one students and teachers came for the presentations.  The Students learned about Electrical Safety presented by Loup Public Power District.  Humphrey FFA members presented sessions on Lawnmower Safety, Chemical Safety, and Fire Safety.  Lindsay Holy Family FFA members presented Grain and Harvest Safety.  The FFA Chapters then hosted a Safety Poster Contest for the students that attended Farm and Home Safety Day.  The students were very excited about all the facts they learned and we hope they took the information home to share with their parents.  The goal of Farm and Home Safety Day is to educate students about safety and accident prevention.

            Several local businesses participated by sponsoring a Community Safety Net booklet on Personal Safety which were provided to all of the students.  We would like to thank those businesses that helped make this possible: 1/3 Class Partner- A & H Building and Supply, C. Thomas Lounge and Lanes, Farmers Co-op Association-Lindsay, Kudron’s Keg, Madison County Veterinary Clinic, and Vacin Inc.  Supporting Partners-Commodity Solutions, Inc., Farmers State Bank, Humphrey Feed & Supply, Parks of Nebraska, and Tri-Star Transfer.
