DIRECTORS COMMENT

HARVEST is upon us and so is the chance for fires. Equipment has a tendency to break down and in some cases, catch fire. WHEAT is very dry when harvest is going on and temperatures are usually warm and windy. Fire can happen when these breakdowns occur and that means a response needs to occur immediately. When harvest gets going pay attention to the possibilities of seeing smoke and or fire. If you see either one, call 911. Someone’s livelihood may be at stake.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!!
