The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) urges farmers and ranchers to remove hay from highway ditches by October 1, adhering to state regulations that require removal within 30 days of processing. This is vital for motorist safety, as leftover hay can create hazards and obstruct visibility. Additionally, hay can lead to snowdrifts on highways, increasing risks for drivers.
