This article provides an overview of the inordinately high rates of health and injury problems among farmers, farm workers, and their families in the U.S. It offers a critical review of farmer health and safety research and intervention efforts which primarily focus on engineering and education. An understanding of farmer health problems rooted in social and economic conditions of industrialized agriculture is offered based on data from a series of group interviews with farmers in Iowa and Nebraska, recent survey data, and relevant social science research
