2026 Youth Tractor Safety

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

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

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 13 may take the classroom and farm tour portion of the class for the safety experience but will not be eligible to receive certification or to practice driving tractors. Please call Cornell Cooperative Extension Cayuga County to verify eligibility. This is the only course to be held in Cayuga County for 2026 to certify youth. Youth do not need to be enrolled in 4-H 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.
