Farm Safety

In the fall of 1986, 11-year-old Keith Algreen from Iowa suffocated in a gravity flow wagon of shelled corn on his family's farm. Following Keith's death, his mother Marilyn Adams began a campaign to promote farm safety awareness. Today there are 140 chapters across the U.S. and Canada.
