I clicked one one of those stupid links at the bottom of something,
It said some agency was doing farm safety inspections this year.
Insinuated that they had enforcement powers.

Anybody know about this.
Maybe it's a state thing, could even be a foreign country.

Not heard anything about it here.

Sounds like the BS I get because I have a US DOT number.

Outfit calls with very carefully selected language to insinuate they are working with/for the government and that I need to employ them to do inspections and driver testing.

I believe it's a European thing

A close look at some of my old junk and they would probably just drag me over to the nearest tree and hang me. GD

No doubt greydog.
There are a lot of tractors from the 50's on working around here.
By modern standards, they were death traps when new.
Time has not improved them.

I can just imagine a safety inspection on a Farmall 300 with no fenders, and chained up
wheels, we used to gather maple sap.

And the finger pinch hazzard on those old milking barn stanchions.

How would you lable the toe crushing hazard on milk cows. Big yellow placard?
One per cow, or one on each leg?

Farms are so dang dangerous, you just have to know. You can't begin to label everything.
And you darn sure can't make them safe.
