Spring seems like a long way off but it’s such a busy time of the year we need to start planning now. Our next Youth Tractor Safety Course will begin on February 16, 2026.
This year we are holding two sessions of our
course over February break
Monday February 16 and Tuesday February 17 from 9:00 am-12:00 pm
Remaining sessions will be:
Thursday evenings:
Driving Practice: TBA
Driving Test: Saturday, April TBD.
Registration Required by February 13
Any youth, ages 14 to 15 years old, planning on working on any farm other than
their home farm must have this certification to be in compliance with the
United States Department of Labor Fair Labor Standards Act. Registration is
limited to Ontario County youths on a first come, first served basis; although,
youth from surrounding counties may register and participate if space allows.
Youth must be age 14 before April 1, 2026 to register.
All participants must attend
every session and pass the course to earn certification.
The course fee is $50.00 for Ontario County residents and $60.00 for out of county residents. This covers the workbook, videos, demonstrations, and pizza for the two daytime programs. There are several instructors, who have many years of experience that have volunteered their time to teach these youths.
Ontario County resident-$50.00 and Non-Ontario County resident-$60.00
