  • Title: Farm injuries in Arkansas 1990-2000.
    Author: Huitink G, Struttmann T, Perkins D.
    Journal: J Ark Med Soc; 2005 Apr; 101(10):304-7. PubMed ID: 15839318.
    Abstract:
    Despite the shortcomings of a newspaper injury surveillance system to capture agricultural injury data, there is merit to reviewing the types of injuries occurring on Arkansas farms. Over an 11-year period, 482 cases of injuries were identified by a newspaper clipping service and entered into a database. These cases exclude injuries on ATVs. A total of 46% of the cases were fatal. Prevention starts with knowing what the hazards are and taking some action to prevent injury. This paper describes the injuries over an 11-year period and concludes with short prevention messages.
