Drivers in Maine have a new option for displaying their agriculture pride on their bumper. No, I’m not talking about a bumper sticker. I’m talking about a license plate. The Morning Sentinel based in Waterville, Maine reports that new license plates supporting Maine agriculture went on sale in October. The plates depict a sunrise, emerging over a farm and rolling cropland. The glowing sunrise silhouettes a farmer and a young girl, walking hand-in-hand.
Maine’s agriculture license plate — one of six state specialty plates that raise money for various programs — became available Oct. 1. It can be purchased in 355 municipal offices around the states and at 13 Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch offices.
Exact numbers on how many of the plates have been sold won’t be available until mid-November, but several branch offices reported that first-month sales were brisk. The state printed about 4,500 plates.
