The Matagorda County Sheriff’s Office urges drivers to be patient and careful around slow-moving farm equipment this planting season. Farmers often move tractors and other machinery between fields early morning or late afternoon to avoid heavy traffic. Juan Brits of Beyer Farms shared that near-accidents happen when drivers try to pass dangerously. The sheriff’s office reminds locals that these farmers are vital members of the community, and asks everyone to show respect and kindness on the road.
