Zeeland Farm Services wants to remind everyone that some area schools are already back in session for the year, and many others are soon to follow. That means school busses are back on the road, and excited students are out there every morning waiting for their rides to school, or are anxious to get home at the end of a long day. Please be extra cautious and obey all traffic rules and the bus warning lights, as many young students are doing this for the first time, while others are getting back into the bus-riding routine. It only takes a few extra seconds to do the right thing.
Also, it won’t be long until fall harvest season is here, and that means the school busses will be joined on the road by tractors, combines, trucks and other slow-moving farm equipment. These folks are trying to move from farm-to-field, or field-to-farm as quickly as possible, and they don’t like being on the road any more than you like them being there.
So please give our farmers a little grace, and be cautious as you pass, knowing that the larger vehicles are not that nimble, and moving off to the side isn’t always an option.
Remember, road safety is a two-way street.
