4/24/06-Gov. Jim Doyle has signed a bill into law intended to help farmers transport crops during harvest by allowing certain vehicle combinations to exceed weight limits for three months out of the year.
The new law, previously AB510, automatically increases road weight limits by 15 percent from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30 each year for hauling agricultural crops from the field to the farm for storage or to the processing plant.
Existing state law requires a request to be submitted in writing to WisDOT to declare a harvest emergency.
