Slow Down, Share the Road. These words save lives. Remember them when you see farmers and their equipment on rural roads during the harvest season.
Expect to see significant numbers of farm vehicles using roads and highways in October and November. Be alert and be safe.
Pay attention to farm equipment with flashing lights, reflective tape and slow moving vehicle emblems (orange and red triangular sign) on the back of farm equipment. Farm equipment travels at much slower speeds than your vehicle so keep a safe distance behind.

My worst fear is having one of those big corn plucker machines with the spikes right about eye level come over a hill right at me as they usually take up two lanes!
This should go both ways, I was doing the speed limit on Baseline when a grain hauler came flying up behind me and rode my bumper trying to get me to go faster until I turned off near Kirkland.
Watch for them entering and exiting fields as well.
