On Wednesday, August 31, IFCA is hosting a Transportation Workshop with speakers from the Illinois State Policy, IDOT Division of Traffic Safety, Illinois Secretary of State, and Federal Motor Carrier and Hazardous Materials Regulations officers.  Illinois Dept of Ag will also present on the new ammonia rules as well as provide an overview of recent ammonia related incidents.  We have great turn out but you can still sign up to attend by emailing us today.  The cost is $35 per person and includes a cookout lunch.  We will have both  indoor presentations and outdoor presentations with equipment present, and compliance officers reviewing what they look for in a roadside safety check whether it is a toolbar, nurse tank, floater or cargo tank vessel.  Click here for the agenda.  Please email jeanp@ifca.com to sign up or call our office at (309)  827.2774.  The meeting begins at 8:45 am at the Asmark Agricenter and will conclude by 3:00 p.m.  This is your opportunity to get all your questions addressed regarding the safe transportation of agricultural equipment and the proper licensing requirements for the equipment and the operators.  For those attending, please park at the IFCA office located at 14171 Carole Drive, Bloomington IL.
