George Washington is said to be first in many things but how much do we really know about America's first president.

Farmers and ranchers around the United States use a variety of procedures as a way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in livestock production. In some cases, those infectious diseases have the potential to spread to humans.

To help agricultural producers increase preparedness and maintain continuity of business during a disease response, staff at the National Farm Medicine Center, Marshfield Clinic Research Institute, have led development of PremisesMapper, a free, web-based biosecurity premises mapping tool.

 

To use the free PremisesMapper tool, go to https://rfdash.org/PremisesMapper/ and create your account. After creating a map, producers can print it or download a PDF to include with their operation’s biosecurity plan.
