In honor of and harvest season, we're sharing tips for drivers who share the road with farm equipment!🚜

🔺Be aware of slow-moving vehicle (SMV) signs — an orange triangle that signifies the machine travels 25 mph or less.

❤️Remember farmers have a right to the road.

➡️ Do you need an SMV sign for your farm equipment? The Federation has a limited supply available for purchase. Message the Federation page to order!

Yesterday's AACD Area 3 Annual Meeting in Greene County was a great success, with all 11 counties in our area represented! It was an honor to attend—and I was truly humbled to be recognized as Outstanding District Employee of the Year for Area 3.

Fayette County was represented well with two amazing award winners:
🏆 Mr. James Gray and his family were present to accept the Conservation Farmer of the Year award.
🏆 Mr. Brad Kennedy and his family were also in attendance to receive the Outstanding Wildlife Conservation Award.

We were also proud to have three of our Fayette County supervisors in attendance, showing their continued support for conservation and our local district efforts.

A big thank you to the Greene County Conservation District for hosting such an awesome and well-organized event. It was a great day of celebrating conservation efforts across our area! 🌱👏
