Here are some factors to keep in mind to ensure you and your farm team are safe this season: When on the road with equipment, stay alert, stay on the paved portion of the road and stay off your smartphone. Keep your speed at a maximum of 40km/h and signal well in advance when turning on and off busy roadways. To guarantee you are visible to drivers, keep the lights on your farm equipment running from 30 minutes before sunset to 30 minutes after sunrise. Be sure your slow-moving vehicle (SMV) sign is visible and present on all machinery travelling roadways. This includes tractors, combines, self-propelled vehicles, sprayers and any implement being towed. Remember to stay hydrated, get adequate sleep, prepare for the weather conditions and take breaks to avoid heat stress, burnout and accidents. Looking for more information?
