<h3 class="breakHead">Tractor Driving Contest</h3>

The Saline County 4-H Tractor Driving Contest was held during Fair Week. 4-H youth must be 12 years old to drive the tractor and attached trailer through a narrow obstacle course, competing for both time and accuracy.

Participants also complete a written test and inspect a tractor, recording any hazards or faulty equipment and listing 10 safety procedures to perform before, during and after driving a tractor.

Our County Champion for the 2018 4-H Tractor Driving Contest is Caleb Boulds.

We would like to thank Dan Evans, Aaron Craig, Jaden Littlefield, Craig Huelsmann, and the many other adult volunteers who helped to make this contest possible. Congratulations to all Tractor Driving participants.
