A Safe Harvest

We hear it all the time. “Be safe!” or “Slow down and think twice!” But it’s easier said than done when running on little sleep and working through the thick of harvest. In 2017 alone, U.S. Census numbers reported that 416 farmers/farm workers died from a work-related injury. Transportation incidents were the leading cause of death in this data (cdc.gov). In addition, every day about 100 agriculture workers suffer a lost-work-time injury. Here are a few tips and reminders for this season.

The Dakota Valley high school softball team won’t start their season until the spring, but a group of over 20 girls, ranging in grades 8th-12th, have been getting lots of reps during the months of August and September. Head coach T.C. Wienandt and assistant coach Jason Anderson have coordinated a fall ball league that allows the Panthers to play against surrounding area teams on Sundays at the Dakota Valley fields. The Panthers also recently participated in competitions at Historic Hubbard Park in Sioux City on Saturday, Sept. 17. The match-up at Hubbard Park involved a grandstand announcer and three backto- back games. Game 1 for the Panthers, versus Sioux City Moons 16U, started the day at the ballpark and was a success as Dakota Valley got the win 15-1. Freshman Annie Bourne was named player of the week by the game day directors for pitching 2 shutout innings and allowing only 1 hit with 2 strikeouts. Bourne also had a hit and RBI in the game.
