The 4-H Youth Development Program of Cornell Cooperative Extension in Cayuga County will conduct Tractor Safety Certification classes for Youth beginning on Tuesday, February 2.
This is the only course to be held in Cayuga County for 2025 to certify youth.
The Hazardous Occupation in Agricultural Law requires that youth ages 14 to 16 must have at least 24 hours of tractor safety and maintenance instruction to drive a tractor on a farm other than that owned by their parents. Every employer of a young, hired employee should consider this class for their present and summer help. Youth that are only 13 may take the course for the safety experience but will not receive certification. Youth do not need to be 4-H members or residents of Cayuga County.
Pre-registration is required. Class size will be limited. The cost of the course is $45 per person (fee can be waived for certain circumstances), which includes a student manual and must be paid before the first class. Note: You do not need to be a Cayuga County resident to enroll.
Attendance is required at all classes in order for students to become certified. Please see listed dates below.
