State Senate passes farm transportation bills

Pennsylvania Senate Bill 736 would enable a farmer to register a farm vehicle for the delivery of milk and other agricultural products to businesses and homes.

Under current law, a farmer is required to purchase, register and maintain a separate commercial vehicle for home deliveries while also maintaining a farm vehicle to deliver products to businesses.

Senate Bill 725 would allow farmers to use a Class A, B or C driver’s license when operating farm vehicles with a combined weight of more than 26,000 pounds on roadways.

“These bills will help our farmers move products to market easier and with less unnecessary regulation,” said Sen. Elder Vogel, R-47th.
