Harvest is in full swing. Taking the time for safety checks and getting enough rest is very important in preventing accidents. Warren-Henderson Farm Bureau Manager Gina Long also shares keeping a booklet of the mapping of your fields that are clearly defined is another way to be prepared in the event of an accident:
“It is important for farmers to have a booklet of the fields that they are going to be at and have those clearly defined and have a copy of that in your combine, in your tractor, in your truck, at home for people to know. The importance of that is if there were to be an accident and you are in a very remote location, if you were calling for help, being able to quickly define where you are at can be very crucial.”
Fall harvest time is one of the busiest and most dangerous seasons of the year for the agriculture industry. Slow down and stay safe this harvest season.
