Bill > HF739

This bill increases the speed limit for implements of husbandry (agricultural machinery like tractors, combines, and other farm equipment) from 30 to 35 miles per hour across several sections of Minnesota traffic law. The changes apply to multiple contexts: when an implement of husbandry is being towed, when displaying a slow-moving vehicle emblem, when operating or towing such equipment, and when transporting certain materials like garbage or debris. The bill specifically amends four sections of Minnesota Statutes to consistently replace "30" with "35" miles per hour, which allows farmers and agricultural workers to operate their equipment slightly faster on public roadways. This modest speed increase could potentially improve agricultural efficiency by allowing farmers to move equipment between fields or along roads more quickly, while still maintaining safety provisions like the requirement to display a slow-moving vehicle emblem that makes these large, slower-moving vehicles more visible to other drivers.
