University of Maine Cooperative Extension plans to offer a tractor safety and maintenance class for new and beginning farmers from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3, at Kennebec Valley Community College, 17 Stanley Road in Hinckley.
The “Tractor Safety Farm Visit” is designed for farmers with fewer than 10 years of experience to learn about tractor safety and maintenance with other new farmers. Jason Lilley, UMaine Extension sustainable agriculture and maple professional, leads the class, according to a news release from the Orono-based extension.
The class cost is $10; registration is required. To register, visit extension.umaine.edu.
