harvest-safety

(Undated) – Fall Harvest is underway across the state and drivers are being asked to pay special attention. Farmers are working to get crops out of the field and to market before the first frost and drivers are asked to be patient as more farm equipment will be on the roads. You are reminded to be prepared to reduce speed immediately upon encountering slow-moving farm vehicles, avoid distractions like texting or talking on hand-held phones while driving, look closely for turn signals on farm equipment, and maintain a safe following distance.
