As cancer rates continue to climb in Iowa, study finds fewer cases among farmers
Iowa farmers had 13% fewer cancers than the general Iowa population between 1994 and 2015.
Reports a study finding that Iowa farmers had 13 percent fewer cancers than the general Iowa population between 1994 and 2015, and farmers' spouses 10 percent fewer. It credits lower smoking and drinking among farmers and the healthy-worker effect for the farmer gap. A quoted researcher says: "it isn't one thing here that's causing all the cancer. It's multiple things." The study itself would replace this exhibit.
