The verdict

FARM runs at 14% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Tobacco farming, field and seed production workplace, earning a grade A.

FARM: 0.6 TCR = 14% of Tobacco farming, field and seed production BLS 4.5 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

FARM safety composite

FARM scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
