Kansas farmers will be able to operate farmvehicles across three state lines without getting a commercial driver’s license under a multistate agreement.
Kansas regulators announced the deal with Nebraska, Missouri and
Oklahoma on Tuesday.
The agreement allows drivers with valid non-commercial licenses
to operate farm vehicles within either state. The deal is meant to
facilitate the interstate transfer of farm goods.
Under its terms, the farm vehicle must only be used within 150
air miles of a farmer’s property. It also must be used only to
transport either agricultural products, farm machinery or farm
supplies from the farm and must be properly registered as a farm
vehicle.
