Wyoming Highway Patrol offers free training class on new ag regulations

 

August 25, 2017



WORLAND – The Wyoming Highway Patrol is offering a free public safety and training class at 10 a.m. this Saturday in the Wyoming Highway Patrol Division G office located at 1100 N. 10th St. to inform farmers and ranchers about new regulations.

Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper Erin DeVries said that farmers and ranchers are invited to learn about a few new regulations, the purpose of size and weight enforcement and get a refresher on older farm and ranch exemptions and regulations. “For anyone who has never attended it’s good and it’s a good refresher, to know what kind of exemptions farmers and ranchers have. What kind of things they can do to protect the public and themselves from any dangers,” DeVries said.

Also during the class will be the issuance of class F permits, which cost $50 per vehicle for a 90-day permit. Registrations will be required to issue the class F permits.

“A class F permit is a permit for farmers and ranchers that do not have the ability to weigh their product, to be overweight. If we weigh them and they are overweight, they won’t technically be overweight if they have that permit. That’s with beets, livestock, beans, any agriculture that they don’t have the opportunity to weigh before they start hauling,” DeVries explained.

Wyoming Highway Patrol Trooper DeVries, the Frannie Port of Entry Supervisor and Cody Wyoming Highway Patrol Trooper Rich Scovel will be in attendance as trainers and to answer any questions that may arise.

RSVP is requested but is not required to attend the class. To RSVP, contact trooper Erin DeVries at [email protected] or call 1-307-840-2630.
