Iowa Farm Safety Council

The Iowa Farm Safety Council was founded in 1943 as the Iowa Farm Safety Committee by a group of 13 individuals drawn from media, government, industry, and education. Heading the Committee were: Kirk Fox, Editor of Successful Farming; J. S. Russell, Farm Editor of the Des Moines Register; Byron Lodwick of the Farmer's Home Administration; and L. G. Keeney, President, Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Companies. The purpose of the organization was to find ways to reduce the number of accidents on Iowa farms. In 1959 the group was incorporated, and the name was changed to Iowa Farm Safety Council.
