Safe driving through the tall corn

It might be after the Fourth of July, but the corn is certainly higher than knee-high in most areas in the 106th district.

Even if you don’t have a stop sign… STOP at the corners.

Even if you know the other direction has a stop sign… STOP at the corners.

I don’t care if you’re walking, riding a bike, driving an ATV, driving a vehicle, or any piece of farm equipment… STOP at the corners.

Corn is tall and it blocks all visibility at intersections. Watching for dust flying up during the day or headlights when it is dark just isn’t enough… STOP at the corners.

Never trust that whoever might be driving from the other direction will stop. Too many people have been hurt or killed in accidents at blind corners during the peak of growing season.

Life is precious and being in a hurry just isn’t worth it…. take the extra time and always stop at the corners.

I could continue on this soap box all day, but I’ll stop here.

Stay safe everybody!
