And in Maine children get off school to help the family farm harvest potatos.
So what.

My Dad always told me that weeding and picking beans was work for three-year-olds, because they don’t have to bend down so far.

In Pennsylvania, I worked 15+ hour days on my parents farm helping with potato harvest when I was 5 years old. At 10 I drove trucks. Not SUV’s but 70.000 lbs. trucks down the dirt road to the the paved road. What a hoot! I wouldn’t trade that for anything. I wish we still did it. I’m now an orphan since both my parents died. Jeez, will Pelosi and Clinton give me federal benefits because I’m an orphan and a Caucasion white male? Yeh, right. These communist politicians have to be sent where they belong. You know where that is.
