Harvest safety reminders from Lacombe County
LACOMBE COUNTY- Harvest season will start a bit earlier this year, and Lacombe County is reminding area producers, residents and visitors of their roles and responsibilities for safety during fall harvest operations.
Road safety is a big concern during harvest season.
With an earlier harvest anticipated, roads will be busier than normal because harvest operations will coincide with the end of the summer holiday season.
“Lacombe County is an agricultural community, and producers have a short window to complete the annual harvest,” emphasized Dion Burlock, Lacombe County Ag Fieldman. “Since starting this campaign in 2014, we have heard stories from both producers and drivers alike of unsafe driving during harvest season.”
