Workers’ Compensation for Farmers 

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, agriculture ranks among the most hazardous industries. Farmers are at risk for both fatal and nonfatal injuries every single day that they are on the job. It has been reported that every day, about 100 agricultural workers suffer lost time due to a work injury. But, it’s not only farmers that are at risk for injuries; it’s also their families as well since most farmers live on site. Working in agriculture exposes you to physical and environmental hazards.
