About the Program

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.

Columbia County Extension is not hosting the safety certification program, but there are several dates & locations listed at the following link: Youth Tractor Safety – Farm Management (wisc.edu)
