(a) A vehicle must not be driven or moved on any highway unless the vehicle is so constructed, loaded, or the load securely covered as to prevent any of its load from dropping, sifting, leaking, blowing, or otherwise escaping. (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a), a vehicle or combination of vehicles may: (1) drop sand to secure traction; (2) sprinkle water or other substances to clean or maintain the roadway; or (3) leak liquid from thawing sugar beets only if transporting unprocessed sugar beets. (c) This subdivision does not apply to motor vehicles operated by a farmer or the farmer's agent when transporting produce such as small grains, shelled corn, soybeans, or other farm produce of a size and density not likely to cause injury to persons or damage to property on escaping in small amounts from a vehicle. (d) A violation of this subdivision by a vehicle that is carrying farm produce and that is not under paragraph (c) is a petty misdemeanor.
