Cornell Cooperative Extension and Lewis County 4-H will once again sponsor a Tractor Certification Course. Federal Law requires the certification program for any youth under the age of 16 who operates a tractor off property owned or leased by their parents. New York State Law requires a tractor safety certificate for youth to drive a tractor on roadways.
This course will be offered for youth 14-15 years of age. If a youth of this age plans to work on a farm they will need to hold a valid certification in Tractor Operation. If you are already certified in tractor operation you are welcome to come for a refresher course or to get certified in farm machinery operation.
There will be a $10 charge to cover the cost of the textbook. Please sign up by March 30th, 2018
Dates will be Tuesdays in April, with the first meeting held in the CCE Conference Room at 7PM on April 3rd. A final test will be on Saturday, May 5, 2018. LOCATIONS AND TIMES OF OTHER DATES TBA. SESSIONS ARE APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS AND ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY AT ALL FOUR MEETINGS.
