In collaboration with the Clinton County 4H and ANR agents a progressive safety day was held for 5th grade students in Clinton County. The ANR agent presented to each 5th grade class on PTO safety when working around farm equipment. Basic tractor and machinery safety topics were also discussed. Students learned the potential dangers of getting too close to equipment running a power take off system. A tabletop demonstration was set up so students could see the sudden dangers that can occur when working around farm equipment. In total 134 students rotated through safety topics ranging from PTO safety to Internet safety, as well as lawn mower safety.
