BROOKINGS, S.D. (KELO.com) — Brookings County road conditions are getting slippery–and it’s not from snow or ice.
Officials say it’s due to farm equipment entering and exiting onto blacktop roads from muddy fields.
They advise drivers to slow down if you encounter these conditions.
Below is the statement from Brookings County:
- During the fall harvest season the Brookings County Sheriff’s Office and Brookings County Highway Department would like to be proactive in keeping the traveling public safe. Farmers are busy with harvest and due to the wet conditions there maybe times where mud and debris from the fields is dragged onto county roads. This is causing roadways to become slippery and hazardous at times. Everyone is doing their best to keep the roads clear and safe. We encourage the traveling public to use caution and slow down this harvest season. If you encounter any road hazards on county roads please contact the Brookings County Highway Department at 696-8270.
