Willie B. and Dale’s Legacy in Farm Safety | Lexington News

Meet Willie B., the lovable Australian Cattle Dog turned farm safety mascot for Kentucky’s Raising Hope Program, who’s helping kids learn how to stay safe on farms — thanks to the legacy of late ag safety leader Dale Dobson. His story now lives on in a new children’s book, “Farm Adventures with Willie B.,” co-authored by ag experts and illustrated by Ashley Schell Fowler, turning a school project into a life-saving educational tool. This year’s All in for Ag Education Week, backed by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and Farm Credit Mid-America, celebrates farm safety through fun, engaging content — honoring Dale’s mission while inspiring the next generation to value safety on the land.
