In Northern Ireland, the law dictates that from the age of 13 any child who wishes to drive a tractor engaged in agricultural activities on private land in Northern Ireland must successfully obtain a certificate of competence in tractor driving.
Now, with the school holidays just around the corner, many of the younger family members will be helping out with the day-to-day tasks on the farm.
