SUMMARY This paper presents a comparative analysis from two data sets, the NIOSH Iowa Farm Family Health and Hazard Survey and the Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll. The objective was to investigate the role of stress as a possible risk factor for agricultural injuries. The Iowa Farm Family Health and Hazard Survey is based on a sample of 989 farm families in Iowa resulting in 390 useable responses from 1994. The Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll is a statewide random sample of 3270 farmers in 1989 to which 2016 Iowa farmers responded. Complementary dimensions of stress from each survey are analyzed and shown to be strongly associated with agricultural injuries.
