Her jacket is torn; her Mustang Track and Field sweat shirt is shredded and bloody. But Kristi Ruth still has her arm and it still works, sort of. This Iowa 4-H’er and farm safety advocate is a farm injury survivor. She considers herself lucky and tells her story in “My Name is Kristi.”

This is a very good video. I believe in the power of personal stories and testimonials! Kristi’s story is amazing and I am so glad for the lives of so many in the future that she “made it” through her injury and is there to inspire and encourage others. Her story WILL change people’s behaviors and I think will prevent future tragedies. You are a brave woman Kristi! I hope that those who watch this video know that safety is more than being aware and alert and having “common sense.” There are certain things that happen on farms where we KNOW bad things will eventually happen if the hazards and conditions exist that make an eventual injury inevitable. Press on Kristi (and ISU!!). You guys are doing great work.
