G R O W G R O W G R O W THE MESSAGE OF SAFETY Planting season is a busy and stressful time for farmers. Please remember these tips: * STAY IN your vehicle or machinery if it comes in contact with a power line. DO NOT get out. * LOOK UP to avoid machinery/power-line contact (long extensions or tall antennas can get caught). * ALWAYS HAVE 10 FEET of clearance surrounding the live lines - even if no contact is made, an electrical current can arc or jump. * STAY AWAY from a sagging or downed line. Call 9-1-1 to have the utility dispatched. * USE A SPOTTER with a broad vantage point when operating machinery around power lines. * TEACH the 10-foot clearance rule to anyone working on your farm and review power line locations.
