The fall means harvest time with farm machinery in the fields, but dry conditions also increase the fire danger and the likelihood of field fires. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources warned operators of farm equipment and off-road vehicles to use special caution near dry vegetation. Keep equipment maintained and fire safe. Also keep trailer chains from dragging, which can generate sparks.
