Overview

ROPS Rebate Program

Status: Active

Program Name: Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) Rebate Program

Funder: National Farm Medicine Center (NFMC), Marshfield Clinic, funded by donations through the Auction of Champions

Geographic Scope: Wisconsin (primary focus)

Purpose: Provides financial assistance to farmers for purchasing and installing rollover protective structures (ROPS) on tractors to prevent injuries from tractor overturn accidents.

Focus Areas:

  • Agricultural safety

  • Farm equipment safety

  • Occupational health for farmers

    • Key Facts:

  • Eligibility: Farmers with tractors that lack ROPS protection (primarily tractors manufactured before 1985 or older equipment)

  • Award Structure: Rebate covers 70% of the cost of purchasing and installing ROPS, up to a maximum of $865

  • Effectiveness: When used with a seatbelt, ROPS are 99% effective in preventing injury and death in tractor overturn events; 70% effective even without seatbelt

  • Background: More than half of all tractors in use in Wisconsin lack ROPS protection due to the long working life of the machines

    • Program Activity:
    As of February 2024, enrolled 110 farmers registering 183 tractors. Also provides promotional giveaways of complete ROPS systems valued at $1,100+.
