The leading cause of vision loss in the United States for people over age 60 is Macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is the deterioration of the central region of the retina called the macula. A “healthy” macula is about the size of this letter “O,” and is necessary for centra vision. In age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the central vision becomes blurry. Nearly 2 million Americans have vision loss from advanced AMD, and another 7 million with early AMD are at risk for vision loss. &nbs

Tractor Safety course educates next generation of agriculturalists
Lincoln, Neb. —
Tractors are part of rural life. They are agricultural equipment that can be spotted in fields, dirt roads, and highways. Typically driven by adults, farm families often hire their teenage children or their neighbors' teens to help with planting, harvesting, and other work. Each Spring across Nebraska, Tractor and Equipment Safety courses are held for 14-and 15-year-olds looking to be employed on farms and ranches.
