Please watch out for the Fire Police tonight. Long Lane is closed between New Danville Pike and Leaman Rd. A fully loaded manure trailer got tired and decided to take a nap on its' back and block up everything....it's a real crappy situation.....

POSTS THAT ARE DISRESPECTFUL TOWARD OUR LOCAL AG COMMUNITY WILL BE REMOVED BY ADMIN. NDFC maintains some great relationships with farm operators. This was an unfortunate incident involving a road closure, so we wanted to get the message out, as we do on a frequent basis. The post was not intended as a forum to bash anyone’s profession. Thank you! ... See MoreSee Less

See edited original post. We will remove posts that are blatantly disrespectful toward the ag community. Thank you.

Is that one commenter (Darren) taking a "stand your ground" mentality with the roadway? Really?? What is goin on in this world? Way too many self centered people. When I come up behind a farm vehicle, I put on my four ways. If I see a farm vehicle approaching, I assess the roadway and move over. I am pretty sure that it is NOT the easiest thing for them to navigate our narrow, uneven, telephone pole right next to the road, ditch riddled backroads. Farm life is a hard life. Give a farmer a break.

Praying the farmer is ok . My hubby works in septic and he told me how quick a load can shift if you are cutoff or make a wrong move in driving. In MD a coworker rolled one of their trucks. Accident s happen. I always keep my distance untill I know it is safe to pass or I make sure the tractor driver isn't turning . I hope the farmer gets back and running .

Still sitting up there in the field. At least I can't smell it at my house.

Farm & Ag Emergency Response and Training - We were told the tank trailer got clipped by another vehicle, causing the tank to overturn. There are no injuries, and other tanks are on the way. Contents will be transferred before they upright the trailer.

Oh sh!t (sorry I could not resist) I hope everyone is ok

Good puns 👍

I hope the farmer is ok also.

That is really cute. And creative. Hopefully the farmer wasnt injured in the accident.

I'm glad no one was injured, but now that farmer has just been put in a hard place with his equipment being out of commission. If you want to eat farmers must farm...

Hope he is ok

I’m a Fire Police Officer, and when I’m behind a farm vehicle I activate my rear facing arrow stick.

Just a crappy deal!!! Hope the driver was ok

Darron Young if they avoided your lane then they’d be in your yard/taking out your mailbox and the complaints would be worse

Hopefully nobody is hurt.

That was joshs new trailer

That's a first seeing that

Farm & Ag Emergency Response and Training - see updated info from personnel on scene. The tractor swerved to avoid an item in the roadway. There was not another vehicle involved.

Tim Kuntz, glad u didn’t have to dive into that!

Everything and anything lately.

If it wasn't for that farmer you would not have your food! What about people on there phones!!

I see that

Christina

That's really shi**y

As the cold weather sets in, we would like to you remember the hazards of using extension cords, “surge protectors”, and multi tap adapters in conjunction with space heaters! ... See MoreSee Less
