| | 1: | | Title: | | | | | Volume/Number: | 2012 August 31 | | | | Issuing Agency: | | | | | Description: | Transportation Secretary Ann L. Schneider today announced a new policy which allows farmers and other agriculture industry workers to transport hay loads of up to 12 feet in width on all state routes, including interstates. The 2012 summer drought adversely affected the production of hay due to pasture conditions, and this action will significantly improve efficiency in the processing and transportation of hay throughout Illinois. Previously, farmers were permitted to transport hay loads up to 12 feet in width on state roadways, but did not include the use of interstates. | | | | Date Created: | 08 31 2012 | | | | Agency ID: | 975**12 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000044852 Original UID: 24332 FIRST WORD: Drought | |
