THIS week, for those who haven't been paying attention to their inboxes, has been National Farm Safety Week and Bushwhacker hopes that despite some of the cheesy promotion spin around "safe farms equal profit", most of us used the prompt to have a scout around the property for potential hazards.
Awareness of farm safety issues in rural communities across Australia has certainly risen in prominence over the past couple of decades.
Bushwhacker says upcoming elections may be a good chance to remind politicians of recent disasters.
