The verdict

Farming runs at 35% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Tobacco farming, field and seed production workplace, earning a grade A.

Farming: 1.6 TCR = 35% of Tobacco farming, field and seed production BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Farming safety composite

Farming scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 34%), 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).
