VIDEO: Farm accidents are an unfortunate reality in Wisconsin. Saturday, area-firefighters got special training on how to respond to them. In 2015, more than two dozen people died on the job in agricultural and related occupations in Wisconsin, according to the most recent federal statistics. "This time of year now that the rain has been holding back, farmers are getting into fields, they're gonna be wanting to get in there and get stuff done quickly," Scott Larson with Stateline Farm Rescue explained. "So sometimes some safety things are looked over and they get in these accidents."
