Large Equipment/Power Line Safety - Teach, Learn, Care (TLC) Jim Flach's story

The safe use of large equipment around power lines is an important message that SafeElectricity.Org shares with this year's Teach, Learn, Care (TLC) campaign. Jim Flach was a respected farmer, 4-H leader, and champion livestock showman who readily shared his knowledge with others. But a tragic farm accident claimed his life when his crop sprayer touched an overhead power line. His widow Marilyn tells about the accident that claimed the life of her husband and their three sons, who are carrying on his livestock work, share their thoughts about their late father. All of them urge farmers and operators of large equipment to be more aware of the presence of electric lines and know what to do, should you be involved in a similar accident.
