The resolution, introduced by a group of Michigan representatives, aims to declare September 22-26, 2025, as Farm Safety and Health Week in the state of Michigan. This initiative recognizes Michigan's significant agricultural sector, which is one of the most diverse in the United States, and highlights the importance of the approximately 44,000 farms that contribute to the state's economy. The resolution emphasizes the inherent dangers of farming, particularly during the busy autumn season, where farmers face risks from machinery accidents and exposure to hazardous chemicals.

The resolution aligns with the national observance of Farm Safety and Health Week, which has been recognized since 1944, and this year's theme, "Avoid the Worst," focuses on various safety aspects such as equipment safety, youth protection, and health and wellness for farmers. By declaring this week, the resolution seeks to promote awareness and appreciation for the vital work of Michigan farmers while encouraging practices that enhance their safety and well-being.
