W E "Bill Stuckey" Memorial Fund
The Farm Safety Endowment was established in memory of Bill Stuckey, Ohio's First Extension Safety Leader. Interest from the Endowment fund is used in the development of action programs in the area of farm and agricultural related highway safety issues. Dispersal of funds may be used for:
-
Student wages or assistantships for developing agricultural education or research programs
-
Promotion and diffusion of timely information
-
Maintaining an agricultural morbidity and mortality database
-
Youth programs in Agricultural Safety and Health
Special funds for the development and distribution of package programs for agricultural groups, organizations and agencies.
Special emphasis will be given to development of new and innovative programs, especially those related to subjects and problems not being presently addressed. A TAX DEDUCTIBLE contribution to the Endowment Fund will provide for a wide variety of agricultural safety activities in Ohio.
