Ag health and safety
Paving the way for a safer future
CHS puts the safety and well-being of people, customers and communities first every day. As part of that effort, the CHS Foundation proudly funds initiatives that provide training, equipment and industry expertise to help protect farm families and rural communities. We helped nearly 12,000 youth learn ag safety lessons in 2025 and assisted hundreds of communities with safety equipment and training through our work with industry partners like Progressive Agriculture Foundation and AgriSafe.
Funding opportunities
Consider applying if you have ag safety and health projects that educate youth and producers about dangers associated with working in agriculture, support the health and well-being of farmers and ranchers, or develop safety guidelines for use on farms and ranches.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. Apply now.
Ag safety and health initiatives that have a national approach or reach multiple states in the CHS geography will be considered.
Ag health and safety projects at the local level will only be accepted through the CHS Seeds for Stewardship cooperative matching grants program.
Health and well-being resources in your state
The health and well-being of rural families is important to CHS as we do our part to create safer communities and live out our purpose of creating connections to empower agriculture. We encourage individuals and groups to utilize resources from organizations throughout the U.S. who share our dedication to helping farm and ranch families and others in the cooperative system navigate difficult situations. Select your state for state-specific resources.
