 “  I think the biggest thing is just starting that conversation and thinking about it and like coming up with a plan that works for you and your family, and that's gonna look different for everybody based on how old your kids are, how much you trust your kids.” 

When ER nurse and farm wife Katie Hammock started seeing farm injuries too often in the trauma center, she knew more could be done. In this episode, Katie shares practical tools and life-saving tips every farm family should know—plus how to prepare for emergencies, talk to your kids about safety, and handle the emotional aftermath of farm accidents. It’s a must-listen for anyone raising a family and running a farm. 

Key Topics: 

Common farm injuries and how to prevent them 

Life-saving tools every farm should have (tourniquets, gauze, CPR shields, etc.) 

How to respond in the first moments after a serious accident 

Emergency planning when kids are with you 

Teaching kids about farm safety without causing fear 

Mental health after a farm injury—for both the injured and their families
