Tractor Safety Opportunities

📢 Adams- Friendship Tractor Safety Program!

The laws:

The Wisconsin Youth Tractor & Machinery Safety Certification Program is designed to meet requirements established by the US Department of Labor, pertaining to special provisions made for the employment of youth ages 14-15 on farms not operated by their parents. In addition, Wisconsin Act 455 provides specific provisions for tractor operation by 12-13 year olds.

To certify (like a driver’s license):

Wisconsin Youth Tractor & Machinery Safety Certificate of Training they must:

attend 24 hours of instructional training;

pass a written exam with a score of 70% or greater; and

pass a driving exam, which demonstrates competent tractor driving ability in a course with a trailed implement.

The plan for Adams-Friendship:

We will again run a tractor safety program for 12-15 year olds at the end of July.

We will add a driving class for inexperienced drivers (starting at age 11) so they will be able to pass the safety program later.

The program class will be sponsored by the Adams-Friendship Area School District’s Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resource Program.

More information can be found in the applications below. The class will be open to a limited number of students. Students may apply for the class by filling out the attached applications.
