Safety is taken very seriously on farms, but accidents still seem to occur despite best efforts.  After all, farming is knowingly one of the most dangerous occupations in the country.  A recent [article](https://www.agdaily.com/news/study-reveals-agriculture-related-injuries-higher-thought/?utm_campaign=Newsletter&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8KrFLosMoKnK3uhO432E9GJ5iZKZpEteLxvgSfjBYNO3OQ6VYKzwIiAwwp3kI9Tcq7lw3v) reveals that it may be even more dangerous than what we previously believed. 

Tractors are the primary source of farm injuries, with tractor [rollovers](https://gpcah.public-health.uiowa.edu/resources/tractor-overturns.html?utm_campaign=Newsletter&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8KrFLosMoKnK3uhO432E9GJ5iZKZpEteLxvgSfjBYNO3OQ6VYKzwIiAwwp3kI9Tcq7lw3v) being the leading cause of fatal injury on U.S. farms.  Safe operational practices and proper ballast are the two primary actions you can take to prevent tractor rollovers.

Fluid in the tires keeps the weight down low, and our beet juice maximizes the amount of weight that can be added in the limited space of a tire.  Pair our beet juice's heaviness (~11 lbs/gal) with its non-corrosive and non-toxic properties and [Rim Guard](http://www.rimguardsolutions.com/?utm_campaign=Newsletter&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8KrFLosMoKnK3uhO432E9GJ5iZKZpEteLxvgSfjBYNO3OQ6VYKzwIiAwwp3kI9Tcq7lw3v) is proven to be the highest value ballasting option available on the market!
