This will run the Amish out of the country.

I started driving the tractor to plwo and cultivate at about ten. at 12 I was in the barn hanging tobacco and spearing it. at 14 I was hiring out to other farmers after we had harvested our own crop.

Do kids get hurt? Occasionally.
But they learn good work habits, They gain strength, and they don’t need to go to the gym most important they are with their dad.(God I wish I could be with him doing that again.)
They are much better off than joining a drug gamg in the city.

We had plenty of time to play after the work was done and we got hurt more often on the playing field than on the farm.

The family farm is the last place children are ALLOWED to learn non-union work habits,therefore it must be destroyed.

Neither big labor ,big agribusiness,nor big government want independent people.

The child labor laws are at least as much about preserving union jobs as they are about protecting children from exploitation.
