Applications are due each July 15 for safety days that will be conducted the following calendar year.  Progressive Agriculture Foundation staff members evaluate the applications and select the sites for the following year, based on funding available, community support, enthusiasm, experience, and cost effectiveness for the number of participants.  Returning communities are also evaluated on coordinator follow-through, quality of past safety day(s), and length of time with the program.  Those approved to participate in the program are notified around the first of August each year.  Click here for an application.
