🌽🚜 WELL, FOLKS..IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN! 🚜🌽

If you live in Northwest Missouri, you already know what fall means…

🌽 Corn is coming out. 🫘 Beans are coming out. 🚜 Tractors are EVERYWHERE. 😅 And that “quick 10-minute drive” might take you 15.

Welcome to harvest season! 😂

Our farmers are going to be putting in some LONG days ahead, and there’s going to be a whole lot of big, slow-moving equipment traveling our country roads and highways.

So when you come up behind a tractor going 20 mph…Take a deep breath. Turn up the radio. Enjoy the scenery. 😎

That farmer isn’t trying to ruin your day — they’re just trying to get from one field to the next and get the crops out while the getting is good!

🚜 SLOW DOWN. 👀 PAY ATTENTION. ↔️ GIVE THEM ROOM. ❤️ HAVE A LITTLE PATIENCE. And PLEASE don’t try to squeeze around farm equipment unless you know for sure it’s safe to pass. Those machines are a whole lot bigger than your vehicle…and we promise, the tractor is gonna win that argument. 😬😂

Around here, the person driving that tractor might be your neighbor, your cousin, your kid’s ball coach, the guy you see at Casey's gas station every morning—or somebody you’ll be sitting next to at Friday night’s football game.

🌾 We’re a small community. Let’s look out for each other.Give yourself a few extra minutes, share the road, and help our farmers make it home safely at the end of a LONG harvest day.

🚜🌽 HAPPY HARVEST, NORTHWEST MISSOURI! 🌽🚜

May the yields be good, the breakdowns be few, the coffee be strong, and everybody make it home safe! ❤️
