Just a friendly reminder to be aware and be prepared both on your farm and in the fields. Always keep your surroundings in mind and know what to do if your equipment contacts a power line. 🚜 ⚡Visit buff.ly/kzGlbwH for farm safety tips and resources.

Spring storms can pack a punch—and sometimes that means damage to power lines. If you see a downed or damaged line, always assume it’s energized and stay far away. Report it to Southeastern Electric Co-op right away. #springsafety
