Lilley discusses youth tractor safety course with Farms.com

Jason Lilley, a University of Maine Cooperative Extension sustainable agriculture professional, spoke with Farms.com about an upcoming farm tractor safety course, with weekly classes offered online from 6–7 p.m. April 14 through May 5. “We start out with understanding some of the risk and the level of risk with different activities on the farm in general,” he said. “We talk about equipment safety, the risks of different sizes of equipment, implementing different types of practices around the farm and how age can play into that.” Register for the course online.
