Farm Safety 4 Just Kids closing its doors

The board of directors for Farm Safety for Just Kids has decided to dissolve the organization at the end of the year.

The non-profit was started nearly 30 years ago after founder Marilyn Adams lost her son in a farm accident.

The group says its mission of education, research and outreach on farm safety issues will continue through a similar organization based in Alabama called the Progressive Agriculture Foundation.

As part of the announcement, Farm Safety for Just Kids says it will donate $5,000 to both the National 4-H Council and National FFA Organization.
