Lindberg placed 2nd at FFA State Tractor Driving

Joe Lindberg of the Carrington FFA Chapter participated in the North Dakota State FFA Tractor Driving Event held at the North Dakota State Fair in Minot on Friday, July 22.

Lindberg placed second in the Basic Division which includes FFA members that have completed their sophomore year and younger.

The Tractor Driving Career Development Event consists of driving a tractor with a two-wheel implement through an obstacle course in both the forward and reverse direction. Limited implement clearance is allowed throughout the course. The driver is timed as they drive through the course.

The event also includes a written test on tractor driving and tractor operation and safety.

The final phase of the event is a practicum that requires the contestant to answer questions about the tractor and questions from the operator's manual.
