Stay safe during harvest
PORTAGE DAILY GRAPHIC

Harvest is a farmer’s busiest time of the year and unfortunately one of the most dangerous. Fatigue and stress often lead to shortcuts and unsafe practices during this time, but it is essential to take breaks, slow down, follow safe practices and ensure everyone on the farm is trained to do the task at hand.
