Electricity Doesn't Allow Mistakes
Farm machinery comes in all shapes and sizes for all sorts of jobs. And sometimes, when you least expect it, farm machinery can get hung up in a power line.
Touching an overhead electrical line with a ladder, CB antenna, grain auger, wagon or anything else is a big mistake. Electricity doesn't allow mistakes. And neither should you around electricity.
This message is brought to you by Iowa State University Extension's Safe Farm program, helping to make Iowa farms a safer place to live and work.
