Ban on Child Labor on Family Farms

Department of Labor wants to ban child labor on family farms. No more handling animals older than six months, no more power takeoffs more than 20hp and in fact no more power screwdrivers. This is insane!

I worked on a friend's dairy farm on occasion as a child as young as ten. I herded cows, shoveled cow shit, used a tractor to push silage, planted, tilled and harvested corn. I wasn't abused or hurt. In fact, it was good for me.

This government has to go.
