DESCRIPTION:The 4-H and FFA Tractor & Machinery Certification
 Program will be offered at the Cuba-Rushford HS (5476 Rt. 305, Cuba, NY 14727) on June 19th, 24th
 and 25th from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. State Law requires that 14 - 16-year-olds be certified
 before operating farm tractors and machinery. Cornell Cooperative Extension
 Allegany County and the Vo-Ag Instructors are once again cooperating to provide
 this training. Registration and Authorization of Consent Forms are available HERE or email Lynn Bliven to request a hard copy by mail.The forms and registration fee are due in
 the 4-H office by June 12, 2026 or can be handed in to your Ag Teachers. Fee
 for training is $20, you may borrow manual for the duration of training or
 purchase manual for an additional $20.Many farm accidents happen because people
 do not recognize dangers and/or are careless around hazardous machinery.Since working on a farm is a hazardous
 occupation, we need to be sure that young operators have had instruction in
 safe operation of farm machinery.Youth
 operating more powerful lawn tractors with multiple attachments are susceptible
 to many of the same dangers faced on farms while working in the backyard.While certification is not required for youth
 working at home, this safety program can help ensure family safety when operating
 lawn mower and gardening equipment.4-H and FFA youth
 that pass the course are eligible to enter the Tractor Operators’ Contest at
 the Allegany County Fair on Saturday, July 18th from 9:00-11:00 AM.
