Proceed with caution!

For us here in the Midwest (and many other parts of the US), it's harvest time! I love this time of year.  However, this time of year is also dangerous for drivers - both in cars AND in farm machinery.

If you come upon a piece of equipment being moved (from either direction), please slow down!!!!  Proceed with caution before trying to pass.


Reminder-----bridges and other "road narrowing" objects on the side of the road (ie:mailboxes) will make it so the driver of the equipment has to move more centered on the road so as not to hit anything.

Reminder 2----farmers have A LOT to watch and pay attention to as they move their equipment. Please be cautious as they may not see you, especially if you are coming from behind them!

Be patient and don't get upset because they are going slow (you like to eat, right?). Their commute to work sometimes takes a slower pace than yours. Allow room and time to pass farm equipment!

Wishing all the farmers a safe, prosperous harvest!
