🌱 Harvest is here. Don’t let safety take a back seat.

Long days, big equipment and busy roads make harvest one of the most demanding times of the year.

A few reminders:
• Slow down and share the road. Make sure lights and signals are working, and trailer large combine headers when traveling between fields.
• Stay alert. Put the phone away and avoid distractions.
• Manage fatigue. Take breaks and recognize when you’re too tired to safely operate equipment.
• Respect the equipment. Shut machinery down completely before clearing plugs or performing maintenance.
• Prevent fires. Keep equipment free of crop debris and carry a working fire extinguisher.
• Be prepared. Use proper recovery equipment when equipment gets stuck.

🌱 Grain Bin Safety: Don’t Take Chances.

Before entering a grain bin:
✅ Ask if the job can wait until the bin is empty.
✅ Lock out and tag out equipment.
✅ Test the air for toxic gases.
✅ Wear a safety harness.
✅ Never enter alone.

Flowing grain can engulf a person in seconds. Take the extra time to plan, communicate and work safely.
