Farm Employee Heat-Related Illness Prevention and Regulatory Compliance

By: Michigan Farm News – July 24, 2023

“Every year, thousands of workers in the United States become sick from occupational heat exposure, and dozens of people die from heat-related illnesses, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). Although illness from exposure to heat is preventable, DOL reports that 50% to 70% of outdoor heat-related fatalities occur in the first few days of working in warm or hot environments because the body needs to build a tolerance to the heat gradually over time.”

Comparing Variability of Southern and Northern Hemisphere Production of Corn, Soybeans, and Wheat

By: Farms.com – August 1, 2023
