Farm safety, including tractor and machinery safety, is of utmost importance especially when it comes to youth being involved on the farm. Tractor safety certification programs are offered around the state to not only provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to operate safely, but also fulfill the state and federal requirements for youth to operate machinery on farms. I was able to stop out during one of these programs that was held at the Stoughton Fairgrounds to learn more about the courses and why they are so important. Cheryl Skjolaas of the UW Center for Agricultural Safety and Health shared details about tractor safety certification and how students can benefit from the programs.
