Safety first! Nationwide safety experts suggest the following tips for avoiding accidents while on the road with farm vehicles and equipment:

- Keep slow-moving vehicle (SMV) signs clean; replace them when faded.
- Mark edges of tractors and equipment with reflectors or reflective tape.
- Install mirrors on equipment so you can see other vehicles; check sight lines and keep mirrors clean.
- Turn on lights, but turn off rear spotlights to avoid confusing motorists.
- Research traffic patterns and avoid heavy travel times.
- Use pilot vehicles in front of and behind farm equipment; identify pilot vehicles with brightly colored flags.
- When traveling with multiple pieces of equipment, keep enough space between them for vehicles to pass.

Stay safe and vigilant this season and always!

If you’re a cattle producer, you know horn flies can cause big problems. In untreated herds, horn fly infestation can reach 4,000 flies per animal. When flies reach overwhelming numbers, cattle are forced to use high levels of energy to fend off flies instead of having energy for growth and reproduction.

We’re here to help. Talk to your local CHS animal nutrition consultant about building an effective fly control program using Payback® beef mineral formulas fortified with Altosid® IGR or Clarifly® Larvicide.
