Historical note

The Iowa's Center for Agricultural Safety and Health (I-CASH) was created by the Iowa Legislature in 1990 in response to public concern about farm safety and accident prevention. I-CASH is headquartered iat the University of Iowa, College of Public Health in Iowa City, IA and it is a joint venture of the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, Iowa Department of Public Health, and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. The mission of I-CASH is to enhance the health and safety of Iowa's agricultural community by establishing and coordinating prevention and education programs.

I-CASH representatives and partner organizations establish programs, give talks to organizations and companies, and provide instructional courses to health care providers, businesses, farm organizations, and state agencies in order to provide information on how they can each play a role in promoting farm safety. In addition, I-CASH publishes annual reports and newsletters. It also hosts conferences and forums to discuss rural health and safety issues.
