This program will provide the trainee with the knowledge and information of tractor safety and farm hazards. Safety training is required by the U.S. Department of Labor for youth ages 14-15 who will be working on a farm for someone other than their parents. However, there are many cases where youth need certification even when working on the "family farm". Certification will be presented to participants who meet all of the following.
Attend the entire session, complete all assignments, successfully complete tractor safety exam, safely demonstrate the ability to operate a tractor and all its controls according to safe operating procedures under the supervision of a parent or employer, youth ages 14-15 years (others will receive certification at the time they turn 14). Cost: FREE! Thanks to our sponsor, People's State Bank, for sponsoring the manual rental fee and lunch for all participants! (For those who want to purchase and keep a copy of the manual, there will be a $15 charge.) To take advantage of the free registration, please sign-up by April 21st at one of the following Extension Offices: Decatur County, Ellis County, Gove County, Graham County, Logan County, Norton County, Phillips County, Rooks County, Sheridan County, or Trego County.
