## About this plate

FARM VEHICLE. Included because agricultural is a controlled class and because AS 28.10.181(h) is unusually specific about eligibility while being unusually vague about the plate, the statute enumerates grass seed and tree seedlings but will not commit to a numbering system. The permissive "may be issued" is worth flagging: the statute does not guarantee the plate is visually distinctive at all.

## Who can have one

AS 28.10.181(h): a vehicle not exceeding 20,000 lb unladen total gross weight, owned by a person deriving their primary livelihood from a ranch, farm or dairy where they reside full-time, and used exclusively to transport that person's own ranch/farm/dairy or greenhouse/nursery products, "including vegetables, plants, grass seed, sod, or tree seedlings", to and from market, or supplies, commodities or equipment for use on the holding.

## Fee

$68 initial, $0 renewal (Alaska DMV catalogue, 'Farm Vehicle').
