Farm Plates What is Farm Registration?
Farm Registration allows reduced fees for farmers who haul their own commodities in a not-for-hire operation and certain for-hire purposes. No surety bond is required. Farm Vehicles may be operated out-of -state on a limited basis. Farm Plates may be used for trucks, truck tractors and trailers used in various farming operations. How do I get a Farm plate?
Farm plates may be purchased at the Commercial and Farm Truck Division office in Springfield and Level 3 Secretary of State facilities. Are there any restrictions on a Farm plate?
Farm Plates may be issued to any vehicle that is used exclusively for the owner's agricultural, horticultural or livestock operations and not-for-hire. Farm Plates may also be issued to for-hire vehicles only in the transportation of seasonal, fresh, perishable fruit or vegetables from the farm to the point of first processing. An applicant is limited to five sets of plates for power units, of which only two sets of plates may exceed 59,500 pounds plus two Farm Trailer Plates. Can I go out-of-state with a Farm Plates?
