The deadline is June 29 for
FFA students to enter the New York State FFA Tractor Driving Safety Contest at
the 2015 Empire Farm Days at Rodman Lott & Son Farms in Seneca Falls.
The competition will be
held Thursday, Aug. 13 as part of the Northeast’s largest outdoor agricultural
trade show.
Students complete a written
safety exam, a parts identification task, and driving courses with 2-wheel and
4-wheel wagons. The Junior division is open to 14-16 year olds; the
16-18-year-old Senior division winner will compete at the Big E Exposition in
Springfield, Mass., in September.
“This annual competition at
Empire Farm Days encourages students to learn proper tractor operation and to
make safety on the farm a priority,” says New York State FFA Tractor Driving
Safety Contest Coordinator Jon Clayson.
To pre-register, contestants
may submit their name and age division by June 29 to JClayson@pioneercsd.org. Walk-up
registrations will be accepted the day of the contest.
