Agriculture work going into full swing this season. RM of Portage la Prairie reeve Kam Blight asks you to keep an eye out for large ag vehicles.

Kam Blight"I just want to advise a lot of the residents that there's a lot of farm equipment on the roads right now. They are slow moving vehicles. They cannot accelerate and stop nearly as fast as a normal vehicle. And they do take up a large portion of the road. So, please use extra caution when traveling down the roads. And please try and give them as much room as possible."

Blight notes there are aspects drivers of these vehicles have to deal with that you should be aware of.

"It's not easy operating a piece of equipment like that. They don't always drive in a perfectly straight line the whole time. They're a little more difficult to operate and drive down the highway and a road than a car. So, please use extra care and caution when approaching farm equipment."
