(From the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office)

It’s getting to be that time of year, fall harvest! We just want to take a moment to remind drivers to be extra vigilant and patient as our great farmers travel with their machinery to and from their fields, farms, and grain elevators.

A couple things to remember:

Farmers may be pulling in and out of fields and lanes, not just other roads.

Machinery may be on the roads at night with their hazard lights on finishing up or trying to beat some rain.

They are doing their best to give everyone room on the road, a little patience will go a long way! Please keep slow and give them as much space as you can.

We’d like to wish all our great farmers a safe and successful harvest!
