ROPS Incentive: The Rollover Protective Structure Incentive Program is designed to help offset the cost of installation of factory retro-fitted and dealer installed ROPS and seat belts on farm tractors owned by North Carolina Farm Bureau members. Approved incentives equal $500 per installation and are limited to one per member. Click here for more information.
Theft Reward Program: The Theft Reward Program offers a reward for information leading to the arrest for arson, malicious damage to property, burglary, or other felonies committed on member property and a final conviction or guilty plea on a felony charge or a lesser included offense.
