Farmer Appreciation Day honors farmers, their occupation From Lisa Tolliver Frankfort, KY - Commissioner of Agriculture Dr. Ryan Quarles honored Kentucky's farmers and proclaimed September 17-23, 2023, as Farm Safety and Health Week in Kentucky at a Farmer's Appreciation and Awards Day on the Capitol Lawn on Wednesday. "The greatest appreciation we can give our farmers is making sure they are safe on the job. Farmers face a number of risks in the course of their work, from machinery accidents, chemical exposure, unruly livestock, grain bin entrapment, severe weather, and many others," Commissioner Quarles said. "In Kentucky, we have made great strides to mitigate these risks to make farming safer than ever before, but accidents still happen. 'No One Can Take Your Place,' isn't just the theme for this year's farm safety and health week, it is the cost we pay when even one person is lost. Whether you are on the farm, on the road, or in the home, please take that extra step to protect yourself and those around you." The inaugural Raising Hope Farmer Appreciation and Awards Day honored farmers and the job they do, while also recognizing the risks they face in their day-to-day duties.

Carol Perkins: The Perfect School Previous Column: Keep the Party Going By Carol Perkins If I were younger, I would open a school unlike any other in the area. Since I know nothing about teaching youngsters, my school would begin with seventh graders. Each year these students would have an intense course in practical living skills. That would be Class One. Class Two would be a concentrated course in grammar and public speaking. Speaking correctly and confidently is valuable to their future growth. The Third Class would be practical math: basic skills like adding, dividing, multiplying, and subtracting without a calculator, plus how to read a ruler, convert fractions, calculate percentages, and interest rates.
