Each year the Woodford County Extension Service offers a 4-H Lawn Tractor Safety program and driving competition.  Taught and led by the ANR Agent, 14 youth participated in 2018.  Those 14 youth all learned proper safety precautions when operating and working around machinery and equipment, then was able to directly apply it in the driving competition course.  Eleven months later two youth stated that they still apply the lessons they learned through that course into their daily lives working with machinery on their small farm.  They also stated they were confident that since taking this particular course, it has prevented them from bodily harm.
