The Hazardous Occupation in Agriculture Law requires that youth ages 14-15 must have at least 24 hours of tractor safety and maintenance instruction in order to become certified to drive a tractor on a farm other than that owned by their parents.

The certification exams will be given at class on Thursday May 30th. The classes will be held at Venture Farms LLC in Tully, NY and Cazenovia Equipment Company in Cazenovia, NY. Class members seeking certification are required to attend all of the classes, actively participate, and pass written and tractor operation tests.
