Help ensure a sustainable and vibrant agricultural community for generations to come by reserving a Massachusetts agriculture specialty license plate. We need to reach a goal of 1500 plates before the Registry of Motor Vehicles will begin production and our Ag Tags can "roll off the assembly line." As of February 2009 we are about halfway there. As we work towards reaching our number, we thank our "early adopters" for their patience and perseverance. To newcomers we hope you will consider making an investment that says you support "Go locally grown!"

Reserve yours today!

• Help preserve 520,000 acres of open space and the beauty
• Protect 13,545 jobs and the value that local agriculture has on our economy
• Help shrink our carbon footprint by reducing the distance our food travels to market
• Enjoy fresher and better tasting food and the security of knowing where your food comes from

Proceeds from the sale of these plates will go to the Massachusetts Agricultural Trust Fund to support programs and services that help farmers remain on the cutting edge in today's market i.e. innovative practices, research, improvements in managing resources, marketing, training and education. Proceeds will not be used to subsidize individual farmers or the state's Department of Agriculture.

It's easy to sign up. Simply download and fill out the Ag Tag reservation form here [PDF]. Make out a check in the amount of $40 to the Registry of Motor Vehicles; mail both the completed form and check back to the Department of Agricultural Resources, Attn: Anna Waclawiczek, 251 Causeway St., Suite 500, Boston, MA 02114.

• These plates cannot be used on commercial vehicles. If a car or van is registered in a company name, the new plate would need an individual's name for registration.
• These specialty plates cannot replace farm plates for equipment.
• We will send checks to the RMV when we have sold 1,500 plates. Your check will be outstanding in your account for that time
