Snowmobilers are being asked to stay off fields and avoid damaging unharvested crops.

The Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association said it’s working with Farm Credit Canada and Saskatchewan Crop Insurance to create signs that farmers can post to warn snowmobilers they’re entering a field with crop still on the ground.

The association said if sledders have any doubts about where to go, they should simply stick to trails and stay off agricultural land.

Farmers can get the signs by contacting the FCC or Saskatchewan Crop Insurance.
