Air Date: January 2012
Small children and big farm equipment don't mix very well on today's large farms. See a unique communications system called the "Whereabouts" that allows children to wear a small tag transmitter that will set an alarm off in the cab of a tractor, combine or sprayer when it gets within 75 feet of the youngster. The systems doesn't need 'line of sight' to be activated.

It’s great idea but supervision is still needed n areas kids can play. Walking around n tell kids what is No No like silos or equipment that can crush can help, I wonder if different tone alarm can be set for No No areas?

Is it a farm or a job site? The children should probably be supervised in such an environment. When the workday is done or weekends is one thing but eighteen wheeler traffic and day labors is another. Be parents first. Then goto work.
