KNOX — A University of Maine Cooperative Extension tractor and farm machinery safety course will be held 5-7 p.m., for five consecutive Tuesdays beginning April 15, at Ingraham’s Equipment, 3 Knox Ridge South, in Knox.

The class is designed for youth ages 14-16 to earn federal certification to operate farm machinery as part of their employment. It is also appropriate for adults who want to learn how to drive tractors and operate implements. Participants will be expected to operate machinery during class. A written and driving exam will be administered at the final session in May; it is required for those wishing to earn federal certification.

A $20 enrollment fee pays for a manual and safety equipment. Pre-registration is requested so course materials may be sent to enrollees prior to the first class. For more information, to register, or to request a disability accommodation, call 287-1426.
