Max Armstrong shares the farm safety concern of power take-off shafts and how they can grab a person and throw you around. One farmer shared his story with Max, and he survived the contact with that high-speed turning shaft. Safety matters and Max shares information about a new project that aims to have farmers who survived dangerous situations tell their own stories.

Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
