Transportation Security Evaluation & Planning for Farmers, Ranchers, & Production Agricultural Operations

Background

Farmers, ranchers and other agricultural operations can better secure the safe transport of hazardous materials, deter terrorist and illegal acts involving hazardous materials, and reduce their own exposure to liability by developing and implementing security plans that conform to Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements in 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart I. Agricultural operations commonly use many materials that are potential targets for terrorism and illegal activities, including: explosives like dynamite or detonators; certain poisonous pesticides; fertilizers like anhydrous ammonia and ammonium nitrate; and fuels like gasoline, diesel, and propane.
