This Standard is intended as a guide to engineers and technicians for the design, layout, construction
and maintenance of terrace systems on cropland that uses modern equipment and techniques. It is not
intended for small scale or subsistence agriculture that requires hand labor for construction.
This Standard provides specifications for lighting and marking of agricultural equipment whenever such
equipment is operating or is traveling on a highway.
The purpose of this Standard is to establish the test and performance requirements of a roll-over
protective structure, ROPS, designed for compact utility tractors to minimize the frequency and severity of
crushing injury to the operator resulting from accidental tractor upset.
This Standard is intended to guide engineers and technicians in the planning, design, layout, construction and maintenance of water and sediment control basins (WASCOBs). These basins consist of an earth embankment with a level top section constructed across a watercourse or gulley to form a sediment trap and a water detention basin.
This Standard applies where gully erosion is a problem or there is a need to manage runoff leaving a site. The soils and site conditions must be suitable to build an earth embankment and the topography must provide adequate detention storage. The site must provide an adequate outlet either through an underground outlet or by infiltration into the soil.
Water and sediment control basins differ from terraces in that they do not necessarily follow the contour of the land, and they do not necessarily reduce slope length as defined in the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation 2. The reduction in sheet and rill erosion may be slight with the use of WASCOBs. However, they may be used in conjunction with terrace systems.
The purpose of this standard is to provide uniform polyolefin and sisal agricultural baler twine specifications to ensure satisfactory performance in round and square balers and have adequate durability in normal storage and handling of baled forage and biomass materials.
This standard is intended to cover agricultural baler twines manufactured for use in round balers, small square balers, and large square balers. This standard is not intended to restrict manufacturers in the use of materials or manufacturing processes, rather create a minimum expectation of baler twine product performance.

These data are provided for use in the design of equipment for radiofrequency (RF) or microwave
dielectric heating applications, for applications in grain and seed moisture measurement by electrical methods,
and for use in the development of other capacitive or RF energy-absorption sensing devices. The data are also
useful in predicting the dielectric heating behavior of grain and seed subjected to high frequency and
microwave electromagnetic fields.
This International Standard establishes general principles for the design and application of safety signs and
hazard pictorials permanently affixed to tractors, machinery for agriculture and forestry, and powered lawn and
garden equipment as defined in ISO 3339-O and ISO 5395. This International Standard outlines safety sign
objectives, describes the basic safety sign formats and colours, and provides guidance on developing the
various panels that together constitute a safety sign.
The purpose of this Standard is to identify production blade lots, from which samples were subjected to
destructive testing.
