Farm Child Labor Laws Issue

This was shared on Facebook today. I believe that it is the best explanation of why the proposed new farm youth labor laws are a terrible idea that I have seen yet. Please take the time to watch three generations of ranch and farm folks talk about their lifestyle.

God save us from the well-intentioned do-gooders.

Not evil . . . . just wrong.

Grandpa had the best lines in the story re: what our government should be doing . . .

Thanks for sharing; I'm sharing the video as well.

People here are trying to fight it also. The whole thing is so terribly wrong.

Cathy, so sadly wrong. To do away with a whole way of life just because they don't understand. They need to concentrate their efforts on the many children who do need protection.

Rose, thanks

Nursejoan, I thought the family did an amazing job of telling the story of thousands of farm and ranch families all over the country.

Linda, it isn't getting the attention it should around here...or I don't think it is.
