This Senate resolution designates the week of September 21, 2026, as "Ray Gaesser Memorial Farm Safety Week" in honor of Ray Gaesser, an influential Iowa farmer and agricultural leader who died in a farming accident. Gaesser had served as president of both the Iowa Soybean Association and the American Soybean Association, advocating for farmers' interests nationally and internationally. The resolution highlights the serious safety risks farmers face, citing statistics that around 160 agricultural workers are injured daily and nearly 400 die annually from farm-related accidents, including more than 100 people under age 20. It does not create new laws, funding, or programs, but instead formally recognizes Gaesser's legacy and calls for greater awareness and education to prevent farm accidents. The measure primarily affects farming communities and agricultural organizations by spotlighting the importance of safety practices in a notoriously dangerous industry.
