Drivers Urged to Be Cautious Around Farm Equipment on Roads

Russell County Agriculture Extension Agent Jonathan Oakes said it’s a busy time of year for local farmers.

That also means more farm equipment on the roadways.

While farm equipment on the roadways can cause some small travel delays, Oakes is encouraging people to be patient on the roadways as local farmers go about their business.

Experts recommend drivers maintain a 50-foot cushion between your vehicle and the equipment when on the road.
