Properly, that is a state issue. All highways are state highways (yes all of them, including interstates and US highways, those just get federal funding under the “post roads” clause). The state sets the rules of the road. If farmers are driving in an unsafe manner the state needs to rewrite the rules for that state.

There are laws on the books in GA governing how farm machinery can be run on highways. For example when a slow moving vehicle accumulates more than 4 vehicles behind, the slow vehicle must pull over at the first safe spot to do so and let them pass. NEVER seen a farmer do this. I think it's a point of pride with them how many people they can inconvenience. "Hey Clem - tied up 42 cars today. How 'bout you?" "Naw, best I did today was 33."

The jackasses driving the farm machinery just don't follow the laws. I don't know if they're ignorant of the laws or just too inconsiderate to care. I hate to see more regulation - just the same as anyone else, but years of following idiots driving farm machinery, almost getting killed by idiots driving farm machinery (running stop signs), and occasionally getting run on to the shoulder by idiots driving farm machinery has reduced my sympathy toward them to about zero, and I suspect that A lot of other people won't be very sympathetic to them for the same reasons.
