Overview

ROPS Rebate Program

Funder: National Farm Medicine Center (NFMC), Marshfield Clinic

Status: Active

Geographic Scope: Wisconsin (primarily)

Focus Areas:

  • Agricultural safety

  • Tractor safety

  • Farm health and safety

    • Purpose: Provides financial assistance for farmers to purchase and install Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS) systems on tractors. ROPS refers to a tractor cab or roll bar intended to protect farmers from injuries caused when tractors overturn.

    Key Facts:

  • ROPS are 99% effective in preventing injury and death when used with a seatbelt in the event of a tractor overturn

  • ROPS are 70% effective even without a seatbelt

  • More than half of all tractors in use in Wisconsin don't have this protection because tractors manufactured before 1985 are not equipped with ROPS

  • Tractor overturns are the leading cause of death on farms according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

    • Award Amount: 70% of the cost of purchasing and installing ROPS, up to a maximum of $865 per tractor

    Funding Source: Donations through the Auction of Champions, an annual fundraiser for farm health and safety in Marshfield
