Manitoba Public Insurance is warning residents that because we are in the midst of harvest season, Large Agricultural Equipment will be traveling on public roads. Keith Ward from Manitoba Public Insurance says it’s important that both producers and motorists do their part to stay safe on the road.

Farm equipment is large and slow moving and producers need to ensure their equipment is properly lit when travelling and motorists need to be fully aware of their surroundings especially in rural areas where harvesting is taking place.

On average there are about 20 collisions yearly in Manitoba involving agricultural equipment and passenger vehicles.
