Spring is here and Alberta farmers and ranchers are back in the fields. This means there will be an increase in slow-moving equipment on rural roads, which can create a hazard for farm equipment operators and motorists. 
 
Remember to share the road and be patient. Give slow-moving farm equipment plenty of room to maneuver. The typical speed of a piece of farm machinery is 30-40 km/hour. You need to slow down to react.
