Tractor safety course teaches skills, offers opportunities

Read Article Photo courtesy of University of Maine Cooperative Extension ORONO Nearly 30 young people, new farmworkers and tractor owners, in April successfully completed a 20-hour federally-certified tractor safety course offered by University of Maine Cooperative Extension. Participants learned about the risks of farm work and equipment operation, and gained hands-on experience in safe tractor operation and basic maintenance skills. Youth ages 14 and 15 were certified to operate equipment on farms owned by non-relatives, opening up new job opportunities. The hybrid course was taught online with hands-on learning at Gorham Public Works and Kennebec Valley Community College in Fairfield. Additional support was provided by Bassett Healthcare of New York, Beauregard Equipment in Scarborough, and Jeff Grant of Findview Farm, Gorham.
