Youth Tractor Safety Certification Class

• Thursday, February 26, 2026, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

The 4-H Youth Development Program of Cornell Cooperative Extension in Cayuga County will  conduct Tractor Safety Certification classes for Youth beginning on Thursday, February 26, 2026

This is the only course to be held in Cayuga County for 2026 to certify youth.

The Hazardous Occupation in Agricultural Law requires that youth ages 14 to 16 must have instruction in tractor safety and maintenance 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 classroom and farm tour portions of the class for the safety experience but will not receive certification. Youth who are 13 may opt out of the textbook fee and participate for free. 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.
