The National Safe Tractor and Machinery Operation Program enables young workers (ages 14-19) to obtain a US Department of Labor Certificate of Training which is required to operate farm tractors and equipment.
The course is open to anyone 13 years of age and older, however, only those 14 and older will be able to drive and become certified. Participants learn important safety skills and gain an advantage when seeking employment at a lawn or landscaping business, golf course or farm.
The registration fee is $25 ($10 for current Ulster 4-H members), which includes the Student Manual. Space is limited to the first 20 paid registrants, on a first paid, first served basis. Sorry, no refunds.
