Gears Up For 1994
The Lebanon County 4-H Tractor Club is once again
gearing up for this year’s program.
Del Voight, Lebanon County Agent, alerts interested
individuals to the start date of Tuesday, January 4, at
7:30 p.m. at the Lebanon Valley Agricultural Center.
At the meeting a videotape entitled “Farm Safety for
Kids” will be shown. All are invited to attend. The 4-H
Tractor Program gives youth an opportunity to “learn by
doing.”
The course will meet on consecutive Tuesday nights
from 7:30 p.m.-8;30 p.m. starting January 18. At the
meeting you will leant that better, and safe, tractor care
results in longer tractor life, more power, and lower oper
ating costs. When you leant how to do many small but
important tractor maintenance jobs, you will gain better
production from farm units and you will cut down on cost
ly breakdowns. Older members will leant machinery
maintenance and repair.
While you are learning how to care for your tractor, you
should also leant how to be a safe operator. Another
important goal of this program is to help you form good
safely habits so you can think and act safely at all times.
Maybe you or someone you know is interested in work
ing on a farm this summer. If so, it’s important that you
become certified tractor operator. One segment of the 4-H
program, the Occupational Hazard Course, offers 13-15
year olds the training required to be certified to operate
farm machinery. This is the only time the course and
examination will be offered, so tell your friends and
neighbors.
