Often, there is a finite window of time when grain producers can move and market their product. As a result, there is an exponential rise in the use of grain trucks.

Plus, if weather conditions are less than ideal, leading to a limited number of days to use the the equipment and move the grain, accidents may be even more prevalent. A recent increase in the number of electrocutions among grain truck operators has brought greater awareness to farming industry power line safety. Here are a few things to remember to keep you and your operators safe: Read more
