   “If youth are 14 or 15 and working on a farm or ranch that is not their family’s, they are required by law to attend a training,” said John Keimig, SDSU Extension 4-H Associate. “Because agriculture work can be dangerous, we encourage all youth who plan to engage in agriculture work to attend the training.” The trainings will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the first day at both locations and 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. the second day.
Independent study materials will be sent to 14-18 year-old participants. SDSU Extension personnel will be coordinating the training. Upon registration, participants will be sent a training manual. This will also include a list of the information that the students will be responsible for before arriving on site as part of the independent study portion of training.
    The first day will include demonstrations safety in agriculture, including tractor, PTO's, electrical, and working with pesticides, as well as a written test. The second day will focus on the driving requirements, and will also include a test. Completion of all of the above with passing scores is required to receive the USDOL Certificate of Completion.
Online Registration
