Farm area tag is for a 10 mile radius of your home farmr,for something like a mix truck,silage truck,farm pick up used for feeding etc. A Farm tag requires a 10 acre minimum,tags are 1/2 $ of what they would be for regular tags,10,000 gvw minimum,must be a pickup,straight truck,tractor trailer,no SUV's,s-10's,Ford rangers,rollbacks, etc.A decent title service will have the forms you need to sign,and be able to do the necessary paperwork.Don't go to the DMV unless you want to wait in about 13 diffent lines and waste half a day. If you do tag it at 10,000,farm tag or not you are required to keep accurate records of repairs and maintenance,an annual inspection(you can do the insp. yourself) on file and be able to produce these records for the State police if need be,although this is rarely enforced.Also check with your insurance company,alot of them are getting picky about farm tagged vehicles and trucks tagged at 10,000 and above.To follow the letter of the law,the vehicle is supposed to be driven for farm business only,not to work,not on a trip, unless it is farm related.Also the farm tag seems to raise a flag at the scales if it is diesel powered,the "scale gestapo" seems to think we are all running farm fuel on the roads,I've had my fuel tank tested 2 times in the last 3 months when I stopped at the scales in Fredrick.
