With the recent tragedies in the Vermont agricultural community, we are reminded that safety on the farm must be a priority for all individuals. Whether you are running machinery, working with animals in the barn or finishing products for retail, agricultural safety is a lesson you cannot afford to skip. We value our members and their teams and want to ensure that you are receiving and providing the best safety training our area has to offer. To help, we here at Yankee Farm Credit would like to reimburse the $90.00 registration cost of the Vermont Farm Safety Program for any member who attends. To take advantage of this offer or if you are a New York or New Hampshire member and would like to participate in a more local training event and need information on fee reimbursement for approved programs, please contact us at
info@yankeeaca.com or 1-800-639-3053.
