Kei trucks for the farm and the ranch
The 2022 Census of Agriculture counted 1,900,487 farms and 732,123 cattle operations in the United States. A kei truck does the daily rounds between the barn, the field and the gate, and in every state it can work private farm and ranch ground even where the road is closed to it.

Of the 50 states and DC, 13 title a kei truck 25 years or older for the road, 18 open the road to it with limits, one has a road law passed and not yet in force, 10 have not settled it and nine do not register kei trucks for ordinary road use. Every state file names farms, private land or ground the owner holds among the places a newer governed truck may work.

Questions
Asked about Farms and ranches.
Where are the most farms?
By the census count the most farm operations are in Texas, Missouri, Iowa, Ohio and Illinois.
Can a farm truck use the road between fields?
In some states. Arkansas registers a mini truck only as a farm vehicle, Pennsylvania has a farm vehicle exemption for work between farms, Vermont lets a road eligible kei truck register as a farm truck, Ohio opens public roads between a qualifying owner's farm fields and Utah lets one travel beside the road between the owner's agricultural parcels. Each state page gives the rule in the law's own terms.
What about a newer truck governed to 25 mph?
It enters the country as off road equipment, governed to 25 mph, and the farm and the ranch are the ground it is built for. Each state decides whether it is titled as an off highway, utility or farm vehicle, and each state page says which.
