Planting Season Underway: Watch for Farm Equipment on Iowa Roads

Iowa farmers are heading to the fields. Please be patient and safe on rural roads. Tips for drivers: - Farm equipment moves slowly (15-25 mph). Don't pass on hills or curves. - Implements may extend beyond the vehicle. Give extra room. - Watch for tractors turning left from the right lane. - Mud on roads from field entrances can be slippery. - Anhydrous ammonia tanks require extra following distance. Iowa is the #1 corn producer in the nation. The next few weeks are critical for getting the crop in. Thank a farmer today!
