New Jersey’s Deer Problem: More Than Just a Roadway Concern
Deer-related crashes are a growing concern on New Jersey roads, but the impact of deer populations extends far beyond roadway safety. For our farmers, crop damage and the costs of protecting their fields are ongoing challenges.
As deer activity increases this fall, President Carter shares why responsible wildlife management matters to New Jersey agriculture and communities across our state.

This What's up Wednesday.....
🚜Sharing the Road with Farm Equipment 🌾
Have you noticed more tractors, combines, and other farm equipment on New Jersey roads this time of year? There's a good reason—they're hard at work moving between fields to plant, care for, and harvest the crops that feed our communities.
Unlike cars, farm equipment is designed for the field, not the highway.
That means it often travels at speeds of 15–25 mph, is much wider than a standard vehicle, and may need extra room to make turns or navigate narrow roads.
Here's how you can help keep everyone safe:
🚜 Slow down and be patient. A few extra minutes can make all the difference.
↔️ Give equipment plenty of space. Farmers may need to use both lanes briefly to avoid obstacles or safely make wide turns.
🚫 Never pass unless it's legal, safe, and you have a clear view ahead. Farm equipment can turn unexpectedly into field entrances or driveways.
🛑 Watch for the Slow-Moving Vehicle emblem. The orange and red reflective triangle means the vehicle is traveling at 25 mph or less.
📱 Stay alert. Put your phone away and keep your focus on the road.
Behind every tractor is someone working long hours to grow the food, fiber, and other products we rely on every day. A little patience helps protect our farmers, their families, and everyone sharing the road.
❤️ Let's work together to make this harvest season a safe one for all!!
