Episode Description:
NDSU Farm and Ranch Safety Coordinator Angie Johnson grew up with a passion for the agriculture industry. “I’ve always had a drive for agriculture and to help people,” said Johnson. Some close calls and tragedies drove the passion for her career. Her dad has recovered from an injury from an accident he had while installing duels on a tractor. “We have an opportunity to provide prevention-based education where we can truly do as much as we can on education, awareness, and training programs to help people make the best decisions to prevent an injury or a fatal situation.” Johnson says this includes helping people find mental health resources as well. Helping just one person avoid injury or overcome a challenging time is Johnson’s objective. TransFARMation is made possible through a grant from the North Dakota Department of Agriculture and its Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network.
