Have you had a near miss or accident on farm? We want to hear from you so we can share your experience and help turn the dial on farm safety.

"Three times I've nearly been killed in my farming career," says NFU Deputy President David Exwood.

"I remember being very shaken after each time and that feeling has stuck with me even though the last was over 20 years ago.

"We think it will never happen to us. But of course, when it does, it鈥檚 a devastating personal tragedy with consequences that go on and on.

"You can read about what happened to me. I hope that, as more and more of us talk about farm safety and tell our stories, we can have a true 'reset moment'.

"If we all do one thing, we can make a difference. You've read my story, now we need to hear yours."
