Nearly two thirds of Scots killed at work last year worked in the sector, according to figures published earlier this year by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Between April 2010 and March 2011 there were 15 workplace deaths; nine of which were in agriculture.
Across Great Britain, the five-year average rate of fatal injury is 0.7 per 100,000 for all workers. In agriculture, it is 9.6 per 100,000; much higher than any other industry.
The HSE said it is working with the Scottish Government and NFU Scotland to change attitudes and behaviours towards safety in the sector.
Six of the fatal incidents involving workers on Scotland's farms were linked to workplace transport issues, such as being hit by a moving vehicle, being trapped in an overturned vehicle and being injured in a quad bike incident.
Paul Stollard, head of HSE in Scotland, said: "Agriculture is still one of the most dangerous professions in Britain and the Scottish fatality statistics sadly support this fact.
"What is most frustrating is that the causes of incidents remain stubbornly the same such as falls from height and overturned vehicles. These incidents can be avoided, often through simple, low-cost steps."
However, the number of workers killed in Scotland each continues to fall. Deaths this year were down from 21 to 15. Over the last five years, the average number of workers killed in Scotland each year has been 28.
