September 18-24, 2016, is National Farm Safety and Health Week (NFSHW). This annual event, begun by the National Safety Council in 1944, promotes safe and healthy practices on farms and ranches around the U.S.

The EPA is taking aim at a widely-used weed control herbicide in the U.S. in an effort to safeguard workers from exposure to it and to stop poisonings caused by accidental ingestion of it.
