It is fitting and proper that we recognize the past and the future. Therefore be it resolved that we remain ever mindful of what has been developed in the realm of farm safety in the past 50 years. Be it further resolved that we acknowledge a debt of gratitude to those individuals and to the groups who with compassion and conviction felt that they could make a difference and did so. It has been said that the future belongs to those who grasp it. Let that be our theme. Therefore be it resolved that present members of NIFS and those who join our ranks in the years to come be charged with the responsibility of uncovering new hazards, developing new solutions as needed and polishing old ones, accompanied by convincing methods of applying the same.
