Young Leaders' Farmer First Aid Kits

(March 7, 2024)

The Winnebago-Boone Farm Bureau Young Leaders held packing parties to put together 200 Farmer First Aid Kits to distribute this spring. The Farmer First Aid Kits were distributed at the Conserv FS plants in Caledonia, IL and Rockford, IL to local farmers. Kits included tourniquets, Bleed Stop, bandages, gauze, tape, trauma sheers, and more.

Winnebago-Boone Farm Bureau Young Leaders would like to thank our sponsors: COUNTRY Financial: Becca Ireland, Mike Freier, Tyler Hoffman, David Mace, Tyler Nelson, & Jeff Young; Conserv FS; Eickman’s Processing; and NITE Equipment.

This project was funded in part by the Farm Safety Grant provided by Illinois Farm Bureau and COUNTRY Financial.
