Heads up! Power lines are HOT. Coming in contact with overhead power lines can be deadly. Today's farm machinery is bigger and taller, making the danger of working around electric lines greater than ever. Harvest time can be the most dangerous time of all. Make sure all fail members understand these rules: Utility lines are UNINSULATED. Don't let your body become a direct link to ground or the result could be fatal Know the clearance height of all farm equipment. To be safe, keep all objects at least 10 feet away from overhead lines. NEVER attempt to rise or move a power line. If you're operating a combine or other equipment that touches a line, stay where you are and have someone call the utility. If you must leave the equipment, jump as far as you can so that no part of your body touches the equipment and the ground at the same time.
