LINCOLN (AP) — Knowing how to drive a tractor safely could help some Nebraska high school students earn a $500 scholarship.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s tractor test laboratory will host a competition on April 10 for 4-H and FFA students from across the state.
The lab’s Assistant Director Dave Morgan says being able to maneuver a tractor through a driving course will be part of the competition. Students will drive tractors pulling two-wheeled and four-wheeled trailers.
But students will also be tested on general knowledge of tractors, parts and tools, and safety precautions.
The winners will receive scholarships to UNL’s College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources.
