SAFETY FIRST … On March 21, Pettisville FFA students and volunteers throughout the community helped make a special day for students in Kindergarten through 6th Grade at Pettisville School. The day’s purpose was to teach the 244 elementary students about farm safety. There were different stations that students rotated through, which were presented by area businesses and FFA members. TK Lawncare taught about lawnmower safety with two state-of-the-art lawn mowers. Schrock Farms showed horse blind spots and how we can be safe around horses. Clayfield Farms provided information on field safety. Truland Archbold showed ATV safety featuring a John Deere Gator. Yoder & Frey brought a tractor for students to see the view from the driver’s seat as well as blind spots around the tractor. Lastly, NX2 Farms talked about chemicals and how we can be safe around them when they are being used. Miller Brothers Construction generously sponsored safety glasses for all of the students attending the event. Pettisville Grain Company and Fulton County Farm Bureau were event sponsors.
