Slow down for farmers this planting season
The arrival of spring means farmers are returning to their fields for planting. Large, slow-moving farm equipment will be on the roads, and drivers need to be cautious.
The Indiana State Department of Agriculture offers safety tips to remind motorists to practice patience and caution when approaching farm equipment:
- Use caution when passing wide farm equipment that takes up most of the roadway;
- Allow plenty of time to get to your destination, becoming aware of alternate routes and avoiding distractions while driving; and
- Practice patience when waiting to pass a farmer. They will try to pull over to the side of the road to allow you to pass once it’s safe to do so.
If you to come across large farm equipment this planting season, please slow down and share the road to not only ensure your safety, but also the safety of our farmers.
We Want Your Opinion (And you might win free stuff)!

The University of Southern Indiana baseball team continued to advance in the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional with an 11-3 victory over Ashland University at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois. USI, the seventh seed, watched its record go to 34-21 overall, while Ashland, the sixth seed, ends game with a 33-21 mark.
The Eagles, with the win, advance to play the top-seeded and sixth-ranked University of Illinois Springfield 7 p.m. Saturday. The winner of the Saturday’s 7 p.m. contest advances automatically to “Championship Monday.”
After spotting Ashland a 1-0 lead in the top of the second, USI senior rightfielder Buddy Johnson (Shelbyville, Indiana) quickly knotted the score, 1-1, in the bottom half of the frame with his second home run of the season. Junior leftfielder Spenser Deom (Tell City, Indiana) gave the Eagles their first lead of the game three hitters later with a RBI-single to score senior third baseman Sam Griggs (Evansville, Indiana).
The score would remain tied, 2-2, until the bottom of the sixth when USI exploded for five runs. Griggs started the rally by knocking in junior second baseman Jacob Fleming (Evansville, Indiana) with the go ahead run, while Deom would drive in the eventual game-winning run with an RBI-walk to extend the lead to 4-2.
Freshman shortstop Ethan Hunter (Terre Haute, Indiana) would cap off the five-run frame with a three-run double to right center to give the Eagles a commanding 7-2 advantage.
USI would seal the victory with four-run rally in the seventh, increasing the margin to 11-2. Senior designated hitter Drake McNamara (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) and junior catcher Logan Brown (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) banged RBI-doubles off the wall, while Griggs and senior first baseman Nick Gobert (Jasper, Indiana) scored Eagles with RBI-singles.
On the mound, junior right-hander Austin Krizan (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) was masterful in earning his first complete game of the season. Krizan (3-3) allowed three runs, two earned on 10 hits, while striking out seven in the nine innings of work.
