Hello, I am an American farm worker who is considering moving to Australia to begin my farming career, and I was wondering how safe farming in Australia is compared to the United States. I have heard that Agriculture is one of the most dangerous industries in the world, and it is more dangerous in certain areas of the world. In the United States, lots of farmers use older tractors and equipment, and they use pesticides and Chemicals quite frequently, and it seems that Australian farmers are more safety-conscious than American farmers.
