AUGUST 2020
“We’ve transitioned the event online” seems to be the norm for the time being. This year, Minnesota Farmfest moved their programming online. UMASH and the Minnesota Safety Council co-hosted a panel on August 4, 2020, Staying Safe and Staying in Business, to launch the three days of live programming.
There are many risks on the farm- financial, infectious disease, physical risk, and more. The panelists covered a range of expertise and were moderated by Minnesota Safety Council President, Paul Aasen.
The panelists:
