About us
The CS-CASH works with ag safety and health partners across our seven-state region and beyond to improve the health and safety of members of the agricultural community. Our center serves a region that includes Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota. Our headquarters is at UNMC in Omaha. Our mission is to work with the agricultural community in the Central States and beyond, conducting research, intervention, education, and outreach activities, which aim to discover the mechanisms of injury and illness, and to develop, implement, and evaluate prevention strategies that measurably improve the health and safety of members of the agricultural community. We envision a vibrant agricultural sector in our region and the United States where health and safety is highly valued and work-related injuries and illnesses are rare.
