PAF, a leader in farm and rural community safety throughout North America, celebrated major milestones at its recent annual meeting in Louisville, Ky.

"We anticipate offering crucial safety and health instruction for more than 100,000 participants at Progressive Agriculture Safety Day programs in 2013," says Randy Bernhardt, PAF chief administrative officer. "All told, we've reached more than 1.2 million children and adults with farm Safety Day programs since our inception in 1995. This wouldn't have been possible without all our volunteers, board members and sponsors who are committed to improving rural safety and health."

It also was announced at the annual meeting that corporate, Foundation and individual sponsors contributed $3.1 million collectively to support 2013 Safety Day programs – and more than $24.3 million during the last 19 years. "Our loyal sponsors have made it possible for PAF to provide farm safety and health education to rural youth and adults throughout North America," Bernhardt continues.

PAF recognized two sponsors for 10 years of support: National Shooting Sports Foundation and Association of Equipment Manufacturers. Over the past decade, these two sponsors combined have provided nearly $114,000 in cash and in-kind donations to PAF. Read more.

The reception and dinner were sponsored by CHS and the CHS Foundation, a 14-year sponsor of the PAF and the Safety Day program.
