Tractor safety operator's course to be heldPlanting season has begun and soon, many teenagers will be starting their summer jobs. In many cases in Southwest Kansas, summer employment may be working on a farm. The Extension Councils from Clark, Commanche, Edwards, Ford, Gray, Hodgeman, Kiowa, Pawnee and Stafford counties along with Dodge City Community College will be hosting a Tractor Safety Operator's Course May 6 on the Campus of Dodge City Community College. The purpose of this course is to provide teenagers with a fuller appreciation and awareness of the needed safety practices around tractors and farm machinery. Any teenager, regardless of age is encouraged to participate. Those that are 14 will receive an operator's permit upon completion of the requirements of the course. Those over 16 do not need a certificate, but are also encouraged to participate. Registration will begin at 8 a.m. in the Little Theater on the campus of Dodge City Community College. The course runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. A minimal registration fee covers the noon meal, handouts and a handbook. Pre-registration is required by April 28.
