ST. PAUL – Specialized agricultural license plates are now available to Minnesotans. Minnesota F-F-A Foundation executive director Val Aarsvold says it took four legislative sessions to make it happen but during those four years the number of people wanting to purchase an Ag specialty plate grew.
The winning design depicts a rising sun and two sets of hands, which is a nod to both 4-H and the Future Farmers of America. One set of hands is smaller than the other, which Aarsvold says represents a difference in age and the mentoring that takes place.
The cost is 15 dollars and 50 cents for the plate itself, and a minimum annual 20-dollar contribution to be divided equally between the state F-F-A and 4-H.
