The tax exemption was to protect farmers buying large trucks for hauling commidties and equipment. The exemption became a back door loophole when certian, oversized SUVs became heavier then 6000 lbs GVR, then other busniesses could then claim them as an exemption. The tax law was changed for 2005, you now have to prove the vehicle is used for agriculture use.
