Harvest Safety on the Road
September 16, 2021
Harvest 2021 is in full swing throughout most of Indiana! Motorists should be aware of slow moving farm equipment, including combines, tractors, grain carts, and trucks on roadways.
Please be patient! Wait for a safe time to pass, or for the equipment operator to pull off the road to allow traffic around in safe manner. At most you'll only be held up a moment or two, and everyone will get home safely!
