Extension Agricultural Engineer Andrew Tessmann of the University of Vermont urges farmers to shut off power before unclogging or servicing equipment and to keep guards in place. Follow manufacturer specs, work rested and alert, wear tight clothing, and take breaks to avoid haste. Train young operators, adjust speeds to conditions, avoid passengers, and obey traffic laws on roads with slow moving vehicle emblems required under 25 mph.
