New rules would have restricted what children can do on family farms

Just wait, King obama’s minions aren’t through yet.  They will find a way to crush family farms and
trample on our freedoms.

Being raised on a farm/ranch ( 60000 acres) I have to see both side. Many time the children personal  growth is
inhibited by limited opportunity in the AG community. I was bless with parents that helped us kids to reach our full
potential as individuals. And our AG business in much larger and cash strong ( no bank loans) because of our
personal growth.

Fast, I think the legislation was about child labor and safety, not children’s personal growth.

Some of the prohibitions seemed extreme to me. A teenager can’t operate a power drill?

Its more than obvious that the “know it alls) that proposed such a rule….live in/on/under the
concrete jungle in some big city….and the best experience on a farm, was most likely a neighbor
growing some MJ and or Dandylions at best.

Can’t all the farms be shut down to save fuel?  Surely all the food we need could be shipped in from
other countries. It would be safer for kids to play video games and collect welfare than to risk injury
around dangerous farm machinery.

Thankfully, someone told those dumbos in the obama regime to get their heads out.

Ouch. That could be the slings and arrows of the biting commentary hitting home or the 13 year old
with her hand stuck in the PTO.

Family farms and kids helping out have been our way of life since the beginning of farms.  We really
don’t need the Obumbo morons to get involved.  Better they should go help the UN write up some laws
for us.
