No, I can assure you that groceries doesn’t count. Hardware, yes. Been down that road. Like I said though, 9 out of 10 of Virginia’s finest won’t challenge ya unless it’s you really take advantage of it.
From the dmv website;
You are not required to register a vehicle (obtain license plates and decals) or pay a registration fee for any pickup or panel truck, sport utility vehicle, vehicle having a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 7,500 pounds, trailer, or semitrailer used exclusively for agricultural or horticultural purposes on lands owned or leased by the vehicle's owner. Although registration is not required, such vehicles must be titled. This registration exemption applies only to vehicles that are not operated on or over any public highway for any purpose other than:
Crossing a highway;
Operating along a highway for a distance of no more than seventy-five (75) miles from one part of the owner's land to another, irrespective of whether the tracts adjoin;
Taking the vehicle or attached fixtures to and from a repair shop for repairs;
Taking another vehicle exempt from registration under any provision of Va. Code §§ 46.2-664 through 46.2-668 or § 46.2-672, or any part or subcomponent of such a vehicle, to or from a repair shop for repairs, including return trips;
Operating along a highway to and from a refuse disposal facility for the purpose of disposing of trash and garbage generated on a farm; or
Operating along a highway for a distance of no more than seventy-five (75) miles for the purpose of obtaining supplies for agricultural or horticultural purposes, seeds, fertilizers, chemicals, or animal feed. (Va. Code § 46.2-665)
Transporting the vehicle owner between his residence and the land where such agricultural or horticultural activities take place.

What would be neat to know is whether or not he’s the original owner and is getting every cent out of it ! I’ve driven farm trucks like that to where you had to keep the windows down to let the exhaust fumes out that were coming up through the floor.
