Now that most of us are getting into the field, we must remember to observe mowing safety rules. Keep your equipment in good repair and keep all guards in place. If using a disc or drum mower on an open station tractor set up a heavy screen or expanded metal shield to protect yourself from flying debris. Most important of all, when mowing on ground that is in full view of the road, be sure to always leave a "holiday" near the road and in plain view from the road. We don't want our local self appointed mowing inspectors having to look at our work for more than a second to be able to see it. If they have to scan the whole field looking for a "holiday" they may run off the road or worse yet run head on into another vehicle, and none of us want that on our consciences.
