I recently read that 4 of 5 fatal farm injuries happen to part-time farmers
and landowners (including their children). Small tractors are less stable
than bigger ones, diverse farms often are hillier, and working around
ditches and pond banks is a major cause of turnovers.

If you're to the point of needing to know which way to turn to cure a
turnover, you're risking too much already. Pushing up daisies is not my
definition of enjoyable farming.
