Tractor Safety Course - Georgia AgrAbility hosted a full day course for new and experienced farmers to learn how to safely operate a tractor. The workshop was held at the University of Georgia's Mountain Research and Education Center and focused on many topics that are unique to farmers operating tractors in that region of Georgia. Participants learned in a classroom setting in the morning and were then able to apply their new safety knowledge when operating a New Holland or Kubota tractor in the afternoon.

Georgia AgrAbility has teamed up with Georgia Agriculture Wellness Alliance, a coalition of farmers, nonprofits, colleges and universities, health organizations, state agencies, agricultural commissions/associations, and agribusiness specialists who work together toward a common goal of aligning efforts to improve the well-being of farmers and farming communities in Georgia. Both AgrAbility and the Wellness Alliance are committed to supporting the health and safety of the farming community.
