With harvest in Saskatchewan well underway, SaskPower is reminding all farmers to take extra precautions around powerlines.

According to SaskPower Spokesperson Larry Christie, each year in Saskatchewan, a number of preventable farm-related accidents occur involving electricity causing property damage, serious injury and even loss of life.

He adds it's a good idea to map out powerlines before transporting machinery.

In the number of days, three people have been electrocuted, with one fatality in the Melfort area.
