No planting in right-of-way

Steams County Highway Department wants to remind farmers that planting crops within road right-of-way is illegal.

State law prohibits plowing, tilling, and/or planting in the right-of-way, driving lanes, shoulders, ditches, and sight comers at intersections.

We want to prevent any situation where crops block motorists’ vision, create erosion concerns, or other safety issues.
