About this listen

 Episode 9 The Accidental Farmer – Cultivating Resilience Today Barbara Hore shares a little of her extraordinary, death-defying life. Barbara certainly has the positive, no-nonsense, ‘get on with life’ attitude seen in many farmers. Her understated experience of being run over by a tractor is added to by her daughter Heather who shares this miracle of survival. Farm accidents are unfortunately common and can be quite serious. Barbara’s experience certainly fits in with a number of the following points! 1. Farms are among the most dangerous workplaces due to the use of heavy machinery, vehicles, and the presence of animals. 2. The most frequent causes of farm accidents include tractor rollovers, machinery entanglements, and incidents involving animals. Quad bikes and tractors are particularly hazardous. 3. Older farmers (over 55) and children under 15 are at higher risk of fatal accidents. 4. Many farm accidents are preventable with proper safety measures. This includes regular maintenance of equipment, using protective gear, and following safety protocols. 5. Farms are often in remote areas, making access to immediate medical care challenging. Barbara’s ambulance got lost getting to her on her remote farm.
