BROWNWOOD – The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will conduct a Farm Trailer Laws program beginning at 6:30 p.m. April 13 at the Brown County Fairgrounds located at 4206 U.S. Highway 377 in Brownwood.

“If you are involved in farming and ranching, then owning a farm trailer or two is almost imperative,” said Scott Anderson, AgriLife Extension agent in Brown County. “There’s been some fairly recent changes in how they are regulated, so exactly what are the laws pertaining to bumper pull and/or gooseneck trailers? Some laws govern both types, some relate only to one kind. With this program we intend to get to the facts as they relate to you the producer.”

Anderson said Brian Childs with the Texas Department of Public Safety will present the program, which is free and open to the public.

The program is being sponsored by AgriLife Extension and the Brown County Farm Bureau.
