Traffic laws must be obeyed at all times during the cruise\, including stops. \n3.

All participants must sign a disclaimer that is part of the registration form. \n6. No “horseplay” will be allowed during the cruise\, including stops. \n7. Riders are not allowed unless they are seated in a “buddy” seat that is securely positioned next to or with the operator’s seat. Other seats must be approved by tractor cruise officials. Inappropriate or unsafe seats will be prohibited and the rider will not be allowed to ride the tractor during the cruise. \n8. No ATVs will be allowed unless they are used by a cruise worker/volunteer. \n9. All tractors must be able to go at least 10 mph. \n10. No alcohol will be allowed at any time. \n11.

Any violations to the above stated rules or any other items or actions deemed to be unsafe or inappropriate for the cruise participants\, volunteers\, the general public or communities will result in the tractor and/ or cruise participant being asked to leave the cruise route. \nTractor Cruise Terms & Conditions\nIn consideration of your acceptance of this entry\, I hereby\, for myself\, my heirs\, my executors\, administrators\, agents and assigns\, release and discharge the Missouri Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture and its affiliated entities\, their officers\, directors\, employees\, agents\, members\, volunteers\, and sponsors from any and all claims\, demands\, damages\, actions and causes of action (present or future\, whether known or unknown\, anticipated or unanticipated)\, including without limitation\, claims for personal injuries or death and/or damages to my property relating to participation in the Tractor Cruise to the extent that those injuries and damages arose from the negligence or any other fault of Missouri Farm Bureau or its officers\, directors\, employees\, agents\,\nmembers\, volunteers and sponsors. I attest and verify that I have full knowledge of the risks involved in this event and either I am or my child is physically and sufficiently able to operate the equipment needed to participate in the Tractor Cruise.
