Things have been happening here at WSU Skagit County Extension! 🚜🌾

Last week, we wrapped up our 2026 Gearing Up For Safety course, and graduated 15 program participants! We want to thank each of our participants for joining us and being committed to farm safety! 🧯🚜

Gearing up for safety would not be possible without our partnership with Farmers Equipment Company of Burlington ( John Morrison ). They loaned us two brand new tractors for our participants to learn on!

Go Cougs!
