I. Introduction (Time Frame: (30 mins)
Farmers provide us with foods through domesticated animals. Farmers work in rigorously day in and day out: they wake up
early in the morning and go home late in the afternoon; work during sunny and rainy days. Despite these working conditions,
farming is one of the many needed skills in our country and the world. There are a lot of opportunities
for farmers here and abroad. In other countries, Filipino farmers earn higher than what ordinary employees receive in the
Philippines.
Farmers know the tools and equipment in the farm and how to use them properly. Before you perform some farm activities,
determine the areas of concern for safety. This lesson will help you to identify various tasks on the farm, determine the places
for application of safety measure, determine the appropriate time for employing safety measures and
identify appropriate tools and equipment in animal production.
