Jun 22, 2023

The 2023 Youth Farm Safety Day will be held July 11 for kids, ages 10 to 16, interested in learning about farm safety through fun, hands-on activities.

The free event, which includes lunch, will be held at the Newmont Farm, a large Holstein dairy and pumpkin farm in Bradford, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is open to both farm and non-farm kids from Vermont and neighboring states.

Workshops will cover safe handling of livestock, proper operation of a fire extinguisher and tractor, ATV/UTV and farm equipment safety. Participants also will learn basic farm first aid and assemble a first aid kit to take home.

The deadline to register is July 3. Everyone who signs up in advance will receive a free safety vest.
