The Senator pointed out that by no means shuts out lamb imports. It would allow yearly Imports of approximately eight million pounds, which is 80 higher than the average level of lamb Imports in the last fifteen years.

Accident statistics show that farming is one of the most dangerous occupations in the world. It shouldnt be. It neednt be. Granted, modem technology in farming has created a great influx of sophisticated, although dangerous equipment. But most farm accidents could still be avoided if all farm equipment was handled with respect ... in the field and out on the road. Carelessness and little risks too often result in tragedy. Accidents are never planned. But they can often be avoided. Think safety. It begins and ends with you.
