What Tasks are Appropriate for farm Kids? On farms, youth are put to work at very young ages for a variety of reasons. The real dangers lie in the assignment of tasks to youth who do not have the physical, mental or emotional ability to perform the job. This display incorporates photos of kids working on farms with recommendations of appropriate tasks. Teaching adults about common risks that youth take at different stages of their lives and protective measures for each age level is a key concept in safety education. The display works well with a variety of audiences, from children to grandparents. Fact sheets AEX-991 and AEX-991.1 accompany the safety message on the display and make nice take-home messages.
