Motorists traveling on Minnesota highways this fall need to be aware of large farm equipment transporting crops to markets, grain elevators and processing plants, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT).
“Harvest season is getting in full swing across the state and farmers and their equipment are out on the highways,” said Ray Starr, acting state traffic engineer. “Motorists need to be prepared to encounter slow- moving farm vehicles, especially on rural, two-lane roads.”
