abstract="Farming is one of our nation's most hazardous occupations, affecting the health and safety of our rural population. Through literature review and a brief analysis of a farm family study from Washington State, this article suggests that it is unlikely that farm hazards will be diminished by educating farmers. It argues that changes in behaviors insuring safer practices have questionable correspondence with the introduction of information about farm hazards. The author suggests that there are numerous social structural and political/economic reasons behind the multitude of farm hazards. These reasons require study, comprehension, and societally-based response before individuals can be expected to make radical changes in the way they farm on a daily basis.<p />",
