It seems that every year, I’ve done a story that reminds drivers in Idaho farm country to watch out for farmers who are operating large farm equipment on public roads between their fields to watch out and be safe and courteous. This year is no different. Farm Equipment on county roads, It's the first sign of spring, and farmers are starting to move tractors, preparing fields for planting.

"Agriculture is our number one industry and we have to be able to get out and about and move from one field to another, in order to take care of our operations," said Canyon County Farmer Sid Freeman.

Freeman has witnessed many farm-car accidents through the years and it spurred him to action.

"I actually witnessed the devastation of a collision right here, " said Freeman.

Freeman and the Canyon County Farm Bureau started an AG Safety PSA campaign.
