TWILA : September 22, 2023
Farming continues to be one of the most dangerous occupations in the country. That's why September 17-23rd is designated as National Farm Safety and Health Week. This week, TWILA's Karl Wiggers introduces us to a farmer in Franklin Parish who was recently involved in a farm-related car accident. Avery Davidson takes us to Grant Parish to talk about the importance of grain bin safety. Neil Melancon travels to Vermilion Parish to show us how the struggle on rice farms right now is representative of what many in rural areas are facing.
