Spring will see an increased use of farm equipment on our rural roadways. Tractors will be traveling between the farmstead and remote fields, increasing the likelihood of vehicle-tractor encounters or collisions. Make sure all signs are visible and emergency flashers and lights are in working order. Avoid moving farm equipment at dusk or dawn and through heavily congested traffic areas if possible. Be safe, be seen is a good motto.
