AGRICULTURE SAFETY TRAILER
We’re excited to introduce our NEW Ag Safety Trailer, which launched in October of 2025! After years of use, we have a brand new trailer updated with a fresh wrap, expanded space, and new exhibits focused on today’s key farm and ag safety topics. Don’t worry, some of the same classic exhibits are still included!
A big thank you to Profinium Bank for sponsoring this important project!
Also, thank you to Minnesota Farm Bureau and Minnesota Department of Agriculture for helping to promote this great resource!
We’ve also added new exhibit guides with demo tips, discussion points, and questions—perfect for helping students or adults confidently share ag safety information. View our Ag Safety exhibits and discussion points.
Exhibits and lessons include: ATV/UTV Roll-Over Safety (NEW for 2026) / ROPS (NEW for 2026) and Pinch Point Safety / Farm Animal Safety (NEW as of August 2026) / Biosecurity on the Farm (NEW as of August 2026) / PTO Entanglement Safety / Grain Entrapment Safety / Auger Safety / Unloading Gravity Wagon Safety / Chemical Safety / Lockout/Tagout Safety / Eye, Ear, Respiratory Protection Safety
The Ag Safety Trailer is available for businesses, organizations, farms, county fairs, and schools to borrow at safety days, employee trainings, or community events. Depending on your location and our schedule, pickup and drop-off may be required (trailer uses a 2″ ball).
