Tractor Safety & Rural Roadway Safety

R&J News continues to cover National Farm Safety and Health Week, which is being recognized this week.  Today’s theme is tractor safety and rural roadway safety.  Megan Schossow, outreach director for the Upper Midwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center, says this is a timely topic with harvest season beginning.

Schossow reminds us that farm vehicles aren’t designed to travel at high speeds and we need to be patient when encountering a farm vehicle on the highway.

Tuesday’s report on National Farm Safety and Health Week will be about health and wellness.
