Be Safe During Harvest 

During the harvest season, farmers and ranchers are typically bustling with activity as they work tirelessly to gather crops. They are often faced with long hours, demanding physical labor, and the need for careful planning to ensure a successful harvest.

Harvesting crops near power lines can be dangerous due to the risk of accidental contact with the lines and potential electrical hazards. Farmers should take caution and follow safety guidelines to avoid any accidents or damage to equipment and property. Additionally, proper planning and communication with utility companies can help ensure a safe harvest operation near power lines.

Farm equipment safety is essential to prevent accidents and injuries on the farm. Farmers and workers need to receive proper training on how to operate and maintain equipment, as well as to understand safety protocols. Regular equipment inspections, using personal protective gear, and communicating eff ectively with others on the farm are all crucial elements in maintaining a safe working environment. By being proactive and mindful of safety measures, the risk of accidents can be minimized, ensuring the well-being of everyone involved in farm operations. Please be safe this harvest season and if you have questions about the power lines, please let us know and we can discuss any issues that you may have. Be safe and stay healthy!
