Farmers in Southern Indiana, Kentucky Urge Drivers to Be Aware as Harvest Season Begins

Farmers in Southern Indiana, Kentucky Urge Drivers to Be Aware as Harvest Season Begins


It's the start of harvest season and tractors, planters and big combines will become a more common sight on rural roads in Kentucky and Indiana.

It can be the busiest time of year, but also, the most dangerous, according to The National Education Center for Agricultural Safety.

That's why this week is dedicated as National Farm Safety and Health Week.

Eric Hess is a sixth-generation farmer in Corydon, Indiana. He raises popcorn, soybeans, wheat, barley and white corn.

He says slow-moving ag equipment will be on local roads and highways.
