Unknown, a farmer from the USA, is urging drivers to prioritize road safety during the busy harvest season. With the increase in agricultural vehicles on the roads, it is crucial for motorists to exercise caution and patience to prevent accidents and ensure everyone's well-being.

As farmers transport their slow-moving equipment, such as combines and balers, from one field to another, they understand that this can cause frustration for other drivers. However, they emphasize that these journeys are necessary to tend to their scattered farmlands, which are comprised of various squares and rectangles.

Unknown highlights the financial and time-consuming aspects of these transitions, stating, "Fuel is expensive, and this isn't a quick job, you know?" They explain that it is not just the agricultural machinery on the road but also accompanying vehicles, like pickup trucks pulling large corn heads or platforms. These vehicles make careful turns and remain vigilant for obstacles, such as mailboxes, while often carrying their family members.

Farming is a family affair, and the safety of everyone involved is a top priority. Unknown expresses gratitude for those who prioritize road safety and remain calm during this hectic season. They acknowledge the efforts of these individuals and assure them of their appreciation.

As a sign of gratitude, Unknown promises to acknowledge these road safety advocates by waving at them as they turn onto a different road. They conclude by saying, "Thank you to those of you working together with us to keep the roads safe this fall. We see you, and we appreciate you!"
