Although field conditions and weather have been conducive to harvest operations, the warm and dry conditions pose a risk for nitrogen (N) losses if applied in the fall. ag.ndsu.edu/news/newsrelease…

Dry conditions + low humidity + high winds = increased fire risk Challenging conditions Saturday could become critical. The risk of unintentional fires caused by harvest is HIGH. Take the proper precautions to be safe. 🔥🚜 1. Service your machines daily based on the owner's manual. Grease and lubricate bearings and chains and look for areas of excessive wear and damage. 2. Use an infrared thermometer to monitor bearings. 3. AVOID combining during fire conditions. Low relative humidity + high temps + wind = High Fire Risk 4.
