What Can I Expect

Calling all young farmers! These fab junior tractor drives in Rutland (the teeny county next to Leicestershire) are open to all budding tractor drivers aged 13 or over and they are great fun.

Lucy and Jack run a poultry farm in the village of Greetham. And when you have hens you need to feed them, which is why they grow crops. And when you grow crops, you need a tractor. That's where the big, red Massey Ferguson comes in.

There are always jobs to be done on this Rutland farm and a tractor is essential. With all the fancy attachments, they lift, shift, plough, gather and lots more besides. On these experiences, the keen teens will get an insight into life on the farm with a tractor.

The paddock area is a great space for learning to drive a tractor. Youngsters will be shown the controls and then it's time to drive. Start slowly to get used to being in such a big vehicle and then as confidence grows, more complicated moves and manoeuvres could be on the cards.

If your budding teen farmer gets the knack of the tractor driving, they could be going off into the fields of this idyllic Rutland farm. And if there's work to be done (it depends on the time of year in the agricultural calendar) they could be assisting with some tractor tasks.

Located just off the A1 in England's smallest county and easily accessible from neighbouring Leicestershire and beyond, this junior tractor driving experience at Greetham Farm in Rutland is sure to be a winner for any teen aged 13 years or over!
