Timely Tip: Prepare equipment now for harvest time! Most of the crops are made, and it’s a good time to start preparing equipment by servicing, inspecting tires, inspecting header trailers, grain carts, and organizing grain storage areas. It’s also a great time to start lining up escort vehicles and drivers.
