Tractor safety courses are an important part of the summer for youth and adults who will be operating any machinery whether it's on the farm or in the yard. It’s also an important lesson for teens that will soon be getting their driver's licenses and sharing the road with implements. These are all points emphasized by Steve Okonek, the county agriculture agent for Jackson and Trempealeau counties. He’ll be teaching one of the tractor safety courses happening around the state this summer. You can find a list of tractor safety courses near you this summer at the UW-Madison Division of Extension website -- https://farms.extension.wisc.edu/programs/youth-tractor-safety/
