Dairy Breakfast Season Begins With Nimtz Dairy in Green County

As summer rolls in, so does the buzz around tractor safety courses—a must for anyone gearing up to handle machinery, whether on the farm or in the yard. For teens eyeing their driver's licenses, these courses offer important information into navigating roads alongside agricultural implements.

For Scott Reuss (Royce), Crops & Soils Regional Educator for UW-Extension, leading a Tractor Safety course in Antigo is more than just a summer job—it's a mission to equip participants with the knowledge to stay safe in the fields and on the road. As he puts it, accidents can happen anytime, making it essential for everyone to learn these critical skills and precautions.
