Youth Tractor and Farm Safety Training 2024 Registration
About the program
The Youth Tractor and Farm Safety Training teaches youth 14 years and older about safe equipment operation and general farm safety. Students who participate in the program will:
-
Work hands-on with full-sized tractors and implements.
-
Receive training in farm safety topics including grain bin safety, ag chemical safety, and livestock safety, among others.
-
Learn about common farm hazards and how to minimize their risks.
This program is offered each summer at multiple training locations across the state. The cost of the training is $40 per student. Students who complete the program are eligible to receive a U.S. Department of Labor certificate of training. This certificate is required for 14- and 15-year-olds who wish to work on farms as employees.
Hybrid learning model
Training includes an online course on the National Safe Tractor and Machinery Operation Program learning objectives and two days of in-person training that include tractor operation instruction in a safe learning environment.
The online course takes 8 to 10 hours to complete and can be done at the participant’s own pace. After completing the online course, participants attend a two-day in-person training with hands-on instruction. All sections of the online course must be completed prior to attending an in-person session.
