Fall harvest time can be one of the busiest and most dangerous seasons of the year for farmers. Cassie Sonnentag with the Wisconsin Farm Bureau says throughout the state harvest is underway and farmers are back in the fields. Sonnentag says tractors and other farm implements are allowed to operate on Wisconsin roadways, but are often large and slow-moving which can cause confusion for drivers sharing the road. Sonnentag says safety has to be the top priority for everyone sharing the road. Since 2009, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation has recorded more than 2,100 crashes involving agricultural equipment resulting in more than 1,000 injuries and 43 deaths.
