The Henry County Farm Bureau is talking about Driver Safety. Katie Laleman from the Henry County Farm Bureau joined Wake Up Tri-Counties on Tuesday morning to talk about harvest season and specifically about equipment on the roads in Henry County and how to stay safe when driving behind or attempting to pass Farm Equipment. The Henry County Farm Bureau recently made visits to schools in Henry County with the Henry County Sheriff's Office and a driving simulator that gives kids the chance to see what driving in farm traffic can be like. But, the most important piece of equipment was farm equipment. Kids got the chance to climb inside the kind of equipment they may one day end up driving behind for a chance to understand what the farmer sees versus what you as a driver can see.
