Amanda interviews Katie Hammock, an ER nurse and dairy farmer's wife, about farm safety and being prepared for emergencies in rural areas where EMS may take 15–20 minutes to arrive. Katie shares why she created a practical farm emergency kit after not finding an affordable, useful option for their new milking parlor, and explains that severe bleeding can be fatal in under five minutes—having tourniquets, knowing how to use them, and quick access to supplies is critical. They discuss real injuries she has seen (chainsaw accidents, amputations, bush hog and lawnmower incidents), plus adult preparedness like CPR and being able to direct 911 to field locations. Katie also covers teaching toddlers farm and livestock safety through repeated, clear rules and mentions her kit includes a simple item list with instructions, with additional training materials in progress.
