There are many reasons we should keep kids off tractors, including: vibrations on a developing brain, noise on developing eardrums, runovers, and distractions for the driver. But that doesn't mean we can't still teach them safety! And sometimes, they teach us, as adults, too!

Every generation needs to be safe on the farm!
