Description

It seems dangerous situations around power lines are repeated each year around the country as ag retailers and growers rush to get crops planted or harvested. The agricultural industry works long hours, and it can be too easy to forget about the dangers overhead lines pose.
Power lines are inherently dangerous, which is why utilities spend thousands of dollars each year training linemen to work safely. In fact, newly hired linemen are put through an intensive school before working on power lines. Linemen are repeatedly told never to underestimate the deadly power in power lines. Neither should you.
