Farmers Guardian partners with RABI for FarmersAid launch
Farmers Guardian is the official media partner for RABI's FarmersAid initiative, designed to prepare farmers for serious on-farm incidents while they wait for emergency services to arrive.
The full campaign will launch with an app at Royal Cornwall on June 4 and be followed by a six-part Farmers Guardian podcast series, video content and collaborations across our key #Farm24 and Future of Farming series.
Olivia Skeoch, head of commercial content at Farmers Guardian, says: "We know how dangerous farming is. If this app keeps one person alive long enough for help to arrive, it has done its job. And we're very proud to be part of RABI's incredible mission."
Lee Krawczyk, head of marketing and communications at RABI, says: "As the Farmers Charity, we want to do everything we can to help reduce the tragic number of on-farm deaths and serious accidents we continue to see across Britain each year. FarmersAid has the potential to help save lives on farm, and we want to see the app downloaded across the farming community so it is there and ready. Farmers Guardian's reach and commitment to farming make them a vital partner in helping us take that message across the industry."
You can register for the app now via the App Store and Google Play
