That’s funny. I was steering a John Deere A tractor across the hills of western Iowa so the men could pick up bales when I was five years old. Somehow I don’t think I could have gotten a CDL.

Same here. I grew up on a ranch and we all learned how to drive a tractor and pickup at early ages. If he were alive today, my dad would be waiting with his rifle for the sonsabitches to enforce that crap.

I took a John Deere tractor with a big cutter bar and mowed a large field of grass/hay at age 8 with about 5 minutes of instruction. The objective is to prevent under 18 family members from contributing to work on the family farm, It may weed out illegals in the process.

Farmers will simply ignore the rule and you can bet the county sheriffs will not enforce it.

Welcome to the USSR! Operator licenses have been required there for years. Bleeping mess.
