Harvest season is here—please share the road with care.

Our farming community has already begun harvesting crops and you have probably seen an increase in more tractors, combines, and other farm equipment traveling our roads.
As a reminder I would like to remind motorist that Patience is of the utmost importance. Please allow for extra time in your daily travels, slow down when approaching farm machinery, and give operators plenty of room.
Please keep these reminders in mind:
• Stay alert in rural areas. Farm equipment may enter the road from a farm lane or directly from a field—not just at a roadway intersection.• Keep a safe following distance. Large equipment can limit your view of traffic ahead.• Pass only when it is safe and permitted. Make sure you have a clear view ahead and enough room to complete the pass safely.• Watch for turns. Farm machinery may need extra room to turn into a field or driveway. Avoid assuming an operator moving right is inviting you to pass.• Put distractions away. Keep your attention on the road and changing conditions around you.
Our farmers are working long hours, and everyone deserves to make it home safely. A few extra minutes of patience can make all the difference.
Slow down. Give them room. Help make this a safe harvest season for everyone.
Michael A. Cortez, Sheriff
