With the harvest season upon us, you might start noticing combines and other equipment on the roadways. 

Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers explains not only do you need to look out for combines, but also deer getting displaced due to the fields they spend time in getting harvested. 

Traffic always increases during the harvest season, and Chief Lowers says drivers need to be aware of farmers making their way down the road in combines and grain haulers.  

Lowers references the "lug nut rule" meaning in most accidents which ever vehicle has less lug nuts typically is the loser. He notes most farmers will allow you to pass when it's safe. 

Always remember, not only during harvest but year round, to drive carefully and be aware of your surroundings.
