The harvest will soon ramp up to full speed and that can lead to some hectic days on the farm. Iowa State University, professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering, Charles Schwab, says this year is an example of how tough the harvest season can be on the health of farmers. The late planting could lead to a later harvest and a rush to get all the crops in.
Schwab says not taking care of yourself could end up causing more trouble in the long run.
The crop report out last Monday showed a minimal amount of crops had been harvested.
