Manitoba is reminding all farmers and motorists to be careful on roadways during the harvest season.
Motorists are being urged to drive carefully past slow-moving farm equipment, and drivers of farm equipment should ensure it is appropriately lit when travelling.
Farmers should create safe play areas for children, regularly inspecting and maintaining farm equipment, and take breaks to avoid fatigue when working long hours.
Farmers and their families have access to a free support system through Manitoba Farm, Rural and Northern Support Services at 1-866-367-3276.
