HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ACT CHANGES HELP FARMERS Some financial savings and greater flexibility in the use of farm vehicles will result from recent amendments to the Highway Traffic Act. These changes are based on recommendations made in a report done by Everett Biggs . regarding farm related trucking. trucking. The changes will extend a cost saving avenue to farmers and are a direct .^response to farmer's wishes. The use of "farm" license plates for commercial motor vehicles is being extended to allow farmers to transport products, supplies or equipment equipment of other farmers provided provided the transportation is not undertaken for compensation. In addition, dump vehicles owned or leased by a farmer, bearing "farm" plates and used for transportation of the farmer's own goods to his farm will not be subject to periodic inspection as re- guired of other commercial dump vehicles. It was agreed that farm dump vehicles used to haul the odd load of grayel to the owner's farm should not be held to the same standards expected of commercial trucks. Companion amendments are being made to enable farmers to continue to drive their own farm vehicles without without the need for a commercial driver's license. The farm plate and driver licensing amendments take effect September September 15,1982 with the dump vehicle amendment effective September 1,1982. 4-H'ER SELECTED FOR NATIONAL TRIP Walt Vice, son of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Vice of R.R. 2, Blackstock has been selected to attend the National 4-H Citizenship Seminar in Ottawa in April of 1983.
