I grow a small garden, not a farm. But many around me operate tractors as tall as my little house and the risk is great around heavy machinery.
The American Farmer feeds the world - that is long undisputed. They serve needs far beyond our own borders for what little gain they can find. Medical bills like these don't help!
God bless and care for your cousin, and may his doctors be wise and thorough. May the damage that was done be recoverable so that he can live a long and fruitful life. The world is a far better place than it might have been purely and simply because of the efforts of those who are often joked about as "REDNECKS".
But a Tractor Tan is earned by long hard work, considerable forethought, agricultural education and advances, and more caring than many are ever aware of. Without "COUNTRY PEOPLE" - many people in many countries would have starved long since.
If you have a "RED NECK", be proud. It's a badge of PRIDE, HISTORY, and DETERMINATION!
God bless all of our "country" folks everywhere. The United States are "ABUNDANT" in resources such as food because they do what they do
~In Jesus name I so pray
AMEN

Thanks everyone!!!!! Justin came through the surgery just fine, he's in alot of pain and it will be awhile before they'll know if it was successful, so he needs many more prayers!!!!
Michelle, He was pulling a hay wagon with 8 round bales down an incline, the wagon pushed the tractor, it jacknifed and upset the tractor. He was pinned between the fender and ground for 30-45 min. When they got him to the hospital, he was in surgery within 20 min., the bleeding from his intestines was so bad that they were using a dipper to remove blood to see where it was coming from. Being pinned so long may have restricted the bleeding and kept him from bleeding to death internally. Did you follow the links in the original post, the second is an article from a newspaper and tells alot.

Lanny, I just saw this thread, and have tears flowing down my cheeks as I type this.............This hit's way to close to home. I've lost 2 relatives, and 3 friends to farm accidents over the years, and all those times came rushing back when I read his story. Most people that buy there food from the local store have no idea just how dangerous farming is. I'm very grateful that your cousin came through his last surgery OK. I'm also glad that it hasn't shaken his faith in farming, and he will go back to the family farm. We need all the good men we can get out here on our farms! Prayers will be sent from everybody on this farm for a speedy recovery.
Over the years I've watched family farms disappear because the children went off to collage and never came back. I have the greatest respect for a "kid" that wants to continue the family farm. Please tell your cousin that there is an old farmer out here in Oregon that hopes for a speedy recovery, and respects him greatly.

prayers are said for Justin, may God grant him a speedy and full recovery. Having grown up on a farm I have personally had a few close calls and sometimes wonder how I didn't get hurt severely or die, now working in the Aviation EMS business I see a lot of farm accidents.

This is something he doesn't need to be told. He got out of the hospital on a Wed, 8 weeks after the accident, 4 days later he was at church!!!!! That's the kinda person he is, always has been.

Production Agriculture in general is in the top 2 or 3 overall most hazardous occupations. If memory serves, it is second to mining. So many people are injured annually.
Our FFA does one or two tractor safety workshops annually at local Farm Safety Days in our county. When working with the types of equipment commonly used in ag, one just doesn't get many second chances.
Youngsters especially are at risk as it is sometimes difficult for them to grasp the danger inherent with the equipment. (not throwing blame around here at all, just pointing out facts)
Most Americans have little idea of what is involved in providing a steady flow of food into the supermarket, let alone the fact that so many people lose their lives and/or livelihood in the effort to do so.
Your cousin is lucky to be alive and is in my thoughts for a full recovery.
