just to add to Ohio mike, a local farm family about lost it all to a driver that was drunk and speeding,that swerved to miss the tractor/disc that he was hauling on a rual road ,well within the law, he was a little ahead of his time because he had yellow flashers on all his equipment before it was manditory. (15 + yrs ago) any how , when she swerved , ste truck slid into the fold up disc sideways , decapitating the passenger, her husband....even though she was drunk..and speeding...she sued... and won...the family no longer farms ,and lost about 1/2 their farm in the settlement.I do not agree that the farmer had any fault in the accident...but it was a jury that gave the settlement , not me . Fellow farmers just be aware that a little preventitive caution now could save the farm later..and to the transplanted suburbanites...have some patience, harvest will be over soon , and you will still be alive.
