ARE YOU
PLANNING A
14- to 15-YEAR-OLD
TRACTOR-TRAINING SESSION?
Several calls by extension offices trying to find a youth tractor training class found their way to my office. I feel this training should be considered a priority for MSUE offices so that farmers can employ 14- and 15-year-old youth legally. Also, employment opportunities for young people in rural areas have expanded with this Federal Exemption Training Certificate. Training is unique in that only extension offices and teachers of agriculture can offer it. Your thoughts on this priority?
