CABOT, Vt. (AP) - A rebate program aimed at helping to prevent tractor 
rollovers is expanding to Vermont and two other Eastern states where hilly 
terrain can be deadly to farmers.
The program, which is already under way in New York, reimburses farmers 70 
percent of the cost of buying a roll bar and seat belt kit, saving them up 
to $765.

Tractor rollovers are the leading cause of death on farms and officials say 
the Northeast has the highest number of them. On Tuesday, agriculture 
officials gathered on a farm in Marshfield, Vt., to urge farmers to apply 
for the rebates.

The program also will be expanded to Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.
