Farmers in the Hoosier state are exempt from a number of federal trucking regulations, but being exempt from a number of reasonable safety practices and regulatory guidelines is a cause for concern among those who work in agriculture and transportation.

By the numbers, Indiana is the 10th largest farming state in the nation with 56,649 farming operations and just over 94,000 farmers, with 96 percent of farms in the state being family-owned or operated.
