I don't know what the figures are for agricultural accidents in the US but in the UK they're roughly 20 times the fatality rate of *every other industry in the country combined*, with a pretty steady 40 deaths per year since 1980.
If the US accident rate is similar (let's be generous - I suspect it's worse) then a rough back-of-an-envelope calculation puts that at 8000 deaths per year, and *you don't even hear about that*.
