A vehicle owner may obtain a “FARM TRAILER” license plate for a farm trailer or farm semitrailer with a gross of more than 4,000 pounds but not more than 34,000 pounds. The fee for a “FARM TRAILER” license plate is $5.00 per year. A farm trailer or farm semitrailer with a “FARM TRAILER” license plate is exempt from the state inspection certificate requirements. “FARM TRAILER” license plates may only be used on farm trailers and farm semitrailers used exclusively to transport
- seasonally harvested agricultural products or livestock from the place of production to the place of processing, market, storage: or
