The tractor went over an embankment, causing the tractor and trailer to roll.
Multiple other children riding in the trailer were transported by ambulance or helicopter to local hospitals, police said. Their condition was not immediately known.
The driver of the farm tractor, an adult man, was also taken to a local hospital where he is in serious condition.
"It's very somber, very tragic, especially anytime lives are lost, but especially when children are involved as well," Lt. Adam Reed said during a news conference Friday.
Further details about the crash and the victims were not immediately known.
