Kids are not allowed by law to work on farms under 18, I think. Zero’s law.
I’m sure there are many rural people who, being unemployed, would work on a farm especially since meals are/were often included ... city dwellers not so much.
Working on a farm is a dream for many city hipsters. Those farms who know how to position themselves right get them with no trouble at all.
Here’s an example of how organic farms get plenty of eager young city labor virtually free: https://wwoofusa.org/
That is not true.
First, the law you are talking about proposed limiting chikdren under 16 from performing some activities on farms.
Second, the law doesn’t exist because it was proposed but never became a law.
Interestingly even Al Franken spoke out against the proposed law and praised the department of labor for dropping it.
