She’s lucky to be alive. You know how many farmers have fallen into manure holding tanks and suffocated? Apparently this Calif. woman was trying to outdo her stupidity of her Florida counterparts.

Even worse than manure tanks are manure ponds that freeze over. Workers starting before dawn in the winter drive tractors onto the ponds by accident, fall through the ice, and drown in the manure. This has happened quite a few times in Southern Idaho.

The manure ponds are used to prevent manure run-off from polluting waterways. They aren't fenced in, either!

Agriculture is unbelievably dangerous work. More than 5,000 agricultural workers in the U.S. died on the job between 2003 and 2011. But nobody should die in a manure pond or tank.
