Participants of the 2025 North Dakota State University Extension Farm Safety Camps are being recognized for their efforts to implement farm and ranch safety practices.
“In honor of National Farm Safety and Health Week, the North Dakota State University Extension farm and ranch safety team is celebrating the work of 15 youth who participated in the Slow-Moving Vehicle Sign Challenge,” says Angie Johnson, farm and ranch safety specialist for NDSU Extension.
National Farm Safety and Health Week is celebrated each year in September, with this year’s theme, “Safety First, Avoid the Worst”.
Youth who participated in the 2025 NDSU Extension farm safety camps received a new slow-moving vehicle sign from Bobcat, Extension’s farm safety camp partner. Camp leaders challenged the young people to identify an unmarked piece of farm or ranch equipment that travels on public roadways and install the new sign.
Many slow-moving vehicle signs on farm equipment are faded, broken or missing. As part of the challenge, participants took a photo of equipment that needed a new slow-moving vehicle sign. Then, they installed the slow-moving vehicle sign and took a photo of its placement.
