I-CASH Safety Campaign: Rural Roadway Safety
I-CASH launches the "It's Preventable!" campaign, a program to educate both farmers and the general public on the safest ways to share rural roads. As part of this effort, we ask all Iowans to share their experiences on rural roads, particularly those that occurred during high traffic times such as planting or harvest.
Agricultural Safety
and Health Hall of Fame Award
I-CASH created the Hall of Fame Award in 2002 to recognize individuals or organizations in the public or private sector that have made significant contributions to agricultural safety and health in Iowa.
Agricultural Youth
Injury Prevention Grants
Since the beginning of I-CASH in 1990, annual funds have been designated for community grants targeted at prevention of farm-related injury in young people (less than 19 years of age). Past grantees have conducted effective community programs on farm safety, including the development of farm safety curriculum for elementary and middle school youth, the creation of educational booths with interactive displays, and sun safety education.
I-CASH Endowment Campaign
 Agricultural death rates are more than five times higher than the average for all occupations. I-CASH is striving to lower that rate through education and hands-on intervention.
To help achieve this critical mission, I-CASH now seeks $2 million in private support to provide resources to assist in funding community-based outreach, education, and research to prevent occupational illnessesand injuries in agriculture.
