Give this episode 60 seconds and you’ll understand why we’re talking about sharing the road with farm implements. The next 30 minutes that follow, Cheryl Skjolaas, a senior outreach specialist with the UW Center for Agricultural Safety and Health breaks down the rules of the road, the two most common types of crashes that happen during harvest season and why all farm equipment isn’t created equally when it comes to safety standards. I was honestly blown away to learn just how long it takes safety features to become standard for farm implements – it’s 5 to 6 times longer than it does for a standard car!
