SPEAKOUT

Think before you burn

Hello farmers. Hello burning your fields. Hello accidents on highways or bi-way or small highways that are run by the state or federal or county or what have you. I don't mind people being sensible about burning fields, you know the farmers, to help them out. But, you know, they always say if it wasn't for the farmers you wouldn't have this, this, this and this. That is so true. But now when someone gets injured on a highway or country road because of a farmer, the smoke that is, I feel that it is the responsibility of the farmer to pay for the injury bills and damage to the vehicles because they are the ones that done it. It's a hazard. Commonsense plays in this. Sure they need to do their crops, do their harvest and send it to the market. But use commonsense when you do it. We are out here too. We are not farmers. Be smart. Pay attention. Look at the wind. Look at the weather. Have a great day.
