Please leave the family farms alone. Let the families do their own thing without a pile of idiot rules. As a matter of fact, let us all do our jobs and live in our homes without a steaming pile of idiot rules.

Oh for cryin out loud. Talk about scream wolf! Education falls under different laws. I have worked farms and ranches and know why they are trying to protect you children. I have seen life long
injuries in children that have crippled them. I have seen illness caused by “safe” insecticides and
other sprays. The rules are to educate you and your children so you don’t have to watch them die
a slow death. I grew up when they sprayed DDT onto fields in fog so thick, we played hide and
seek. If you love your children, it would seem you’d like to get educated if you are killing your
own. I know many ranches only can afford to have their own children work them but these laws
are to help you “hand out” the jobs. And by the way, this government is at an all time low for
employees so who do you think will be checking on these laws. NOBODY. For a school to whine
is just stupid. Teachers need to go back to school and relearn. The information you did learn is
so far outdated it is dangerous to the kids. My kids took these classes and were taught what was
dangerous and what to use instead of poisons. WHAT, you too old to re learn? Too old to
protect the children. YOU are suppose to be AN EDUCATOR!
