Government just passing laws against citizens.
Wonder when he will outlaw hunting the Kings deer.
Mangled Headline Syntax alert. I thought it was about Mexicans at first.
I saw a “news story” about how children injured on farms wrack up about 1.4 billion dollars in medical care costs per year. When I saw that story, I thought: “Hmmm, strange. I bet Obama is trying to regulate, tax, or destroy the rural tradition of kids working farms.” I grew up near many farms. picked berries on a berry farm, most of my school mates milked before and after school, etc.
This administration hates the military and rural Americans.
Technically, it’s not about Mexicans, but the end result will be more job opportunities for illegal aliens as farmers find that their family members are not allowed to do the work.
Can’t work on a farm but they can be gang bangers, shoot people and sell dope as young as nine. All our kids are being pampered to death by society and government. Asinine.
Next up: Allowing SEIU to organize “chore workers”
That headline is a contorted as a boa constrictor in a cage full of rats................
I get the feeling this will be widely ignored.
Where I grew up you could make pretty good money during summer vacation bailing hay. It was hard work. We loved it.
So, who said it had to be called “working.” Why not call it volunteering or doing it as a hobby, or form new kinds of scouting organizations, i.e. the “Horse Scouts.” There’s always a way to get around something so obviously stupid as this!
There are already some pretty burdensome restrictions on it already.
During haying, we were paid $2/hour and fed lunch by the farmer. The minimum wage at that time was $1.15 if working in gas station or super market.

So did I. I think the person who wrote that sentance is functionally illiterate.
My congressman (Tim Walberg) has made OSHA one of his primary targets. He says they’ve become nothing more than another fine collection agency. Every time a company manages to achieve compliance with OSHA rules, OSHA comes up with another set of rules.
Some BS going on here, the headline says family farms, as in kids working on their parents property, but the articles says it applies to hired help.? Makes no difference, you can run an ad asking for farm workers, no one speaking english will show up.
Had this law been in effect when I was a youngster, I would have gone to school in rags as my new school clothes came from those earnings not to mention the money that went into the family coffers as I contributed toward my room and board when I had an income from this type of work.
I wouldn't have been able to take my girlfriend (now, my wife of almost 50 years) to the prom...I could have ended up with a different wife...I might have ended up with a grandson with a dog collar.
16 are prohibited from operating specific farm equipment, such as tractors with more than 20 PTO horsepower...
Someone obviously has no clue about the equipment required to efficiently work the land...20 HP PTO's are in the compact tractor category...
