Health and safety on North Carolina farms

N C Med J. 2011 Nov-Dec;72(6):484-6.

Abstract

Many rural areas in North Carolina do not receive the professional health care they deserve. North Carolina Farm Bureau recognized this unfilled need and implemented its Healthy Living for a Lifetime program in 2010. This initiative is one way to help improve the health of the state's 52,000 family farmers.
