Authorities Discuss Harvest Time Safety

Harvest time is in full swing in Central Illinois and local authorities are discussing safety while the heavy machinery and implements are out and about on rural roadways.
 
Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers says give yourself extra time as you travel on rural roadways and eliminate the distracted driving.
 
 
With the crops coming out of the ground, the deer of central Illinois will be migrating more to take advantage of the spillage of those grains. Chief Lowers says with their increased movement, the deer-car accidents annual spike this time of the year.
 
 
The harvest is getting a late start for some farmers this year because the fields did not dry out as usual. Expect implements to be out and about throughout the month of October and even into November in some places.
