Episode Summary

This episode of the FarmSafe podcast is about rural emergency preparedness. We chat with Dr. Aaron Yoder about preparing for disasters and communicating with others so that they know where you are if you have to work alone. We also asked him about the Farm MAPPER project, and we discussed other technology that can be used in emergency situations or that can be used to communicate across large distances on the farm.
