What are you looking for? Statistics on agricultural accidents? Stabilization and extrication techniques? Let me know.

Up to date statistics would be great! I have my stuff on extrication and stabilization. Also some more info on PTO injuries.

I just did a quick Google search and have found a few good statistics websites. They date back awhile ago and I'm not sure if there has been any recent research. Let me know if you need anything else.
