The second in the series and a big brown bull has come to live at Riverside Farm. He’s a very cranky brown bull. The children must never go into a field with a bull.

Tales from Riverside Farm Part 3 - The Red Tractor
The third in the series and the one that tackles the most prominent issue of safety for children on farms – tractors! It’s autumn on Riverside Farm. Sarah and Tom are picking juicy blackberries to make blackberry tarts, and Daddy is busy with the red tractor in the back field. But when Tom climbs into the tractor, he quickly gets into a very sticky situation. With so many buttons and levers, he doesn’t know which one to push first! Once again Mr Brambles must come to the rescue. But is his magic strong enough to stop a runaway tractor?
Narrated by author and AgriKids Founder, Alma Jordan, this event also includes some tips around on staying safe around tractors and machinery.
