Indiana Farm Bureau and FBI Focus on Farm Safety

By Andi Anderson

The Indiana Farm Bureau is joining hands with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to protect farmers by hosting a farmer safety conference. The event will focus on growing threats in technology and food safety that could impact Indiana’s agricultural industry.

As agriculture becomes more dependent on digital tools, farmers face new risks, including cybersecurity threats and data breaches.

The conference aims to raise awareness about these dangers and educate farmers on how to stay safe. Topics will cover the importance of protecting farm data, responding to threats, and understanding how global issues can affect local farms.

Food safety is another major concern. With increasing connections between farming, processing, and distribution, keeping food safe from contamination is critical.

The conference will discuss how to prevent risks in the food chain, ensuring consumer safety and maintaining trust in agricultural products.

By bringing farmers, technology experts, and law enforcement together, the event promotes a strong partnership. It helps farmers understand how federal agencies like the FBI work to protect national food systems and respond to threats.

The Indiana Farm Bureau plays a leading role in helping farmers face modern challenges. This collaboration shows their commitment to supporting agriculture beyond the fields—into areas like digital safety and emergency response.

 The goal of the event is to equip farmers with tools and knowledge to keep their operations safe and resilient. It also highlights how important agriculture is to national security and the economy.

As farming evolves, so do the risks. Through this conference, Indiana farmers will be better prepared to handle those risks with confidence and stay one step ahead.

This effort reflects a growing trend in agriculture—combining traditional farming wisdom with modern safety practices. With support from the FBI and the Indiana Farm Bureau, farmers can continue growing food safely and securely.
