NFMC: ROPS Rebate Could be Given as Christmas Gift
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 12/08/2017

The National Farm Medicine Center at Marshfield Clinic continues to offer rebates to help farmers cover the cost of installing rollover protective structures on their tractors.

Coordinators say farmers can apply for a ROPS rebate of up to 70 percent through the NFMC. Staff members will research the ROPS options for the tractor's make and model and provide the applicant with estimated costs, as well as sources for purchasing the ROPS. When the ROPS is installed, the farmer will send in the receipts and receive a rebate check in the mail.

More than half the tractors in Wisconsin do not have this projection, according to the group's findings. The Wisconsin ROPS Rebate Program was launched with philanthropic support provided to Marshfield Clinic through the Auction of Champions Fund a Need program. Nearly 200 ROPS have been installed since 2013.

Meanwhile, NFMC staff are recommending the rebates as a form of a Christmas gift within farm families.
