Wheat Harvest Safety Tips

As harvest season starts to draw near, it’s important to remember to keep safety in mind when moving augers and big equipment.

Here are a few tips for wheat harvest safety this season:

  • Keep careful watch for overhead power lines, especially in fields you visit regularly throughout the year, as you may habitually drive in without thinking about changes in your equipment size and height.
  • Harvest also leads to more driving on narrow roads and in low-light conditions, so be sure to practice defensive driving to protect yourself from traffic that may not remember how to share the road with large equipment.
  • Check your lights each time before you go out, ensure you have slow moving vehicle signage when needed, and plan your routes to avoid high-traffic roadways when at all possible.

From your team at CHS, we wish you a safe harvest season!
