Safe farming practices for corn picker safety and attire
A prudent farmer keeps safety first with corn pickers by carrying a fire extinguisher and first aid kit and always shutting off the machine before leaving the seat. Avoid unclogging or adjustments while moving, check the machine during slower or calmer times, and wear snug clothing to prevent entanglement with moving parts.
