Farm Chores Debate - Sikeston, MO

NO! It should be up to the parents. It's ridiculous to apply such nonsense to the home/farm/ranch.

Next thing you know home chores like washing dishes or mopping the floor will be regulated by outsiders.

SaraV , I agree 100%!!!
I grew up in the farming atmosphere !
I also worked and have no regrets!!
I did not pursue in farming , but if I done so my children would be right there with me when they reached the right age !

Cheers

I am in favor of labor regulations concerning minor employees doing farm work.

Which is not the same as minors working on their family farm.

You would be !

I grew up working on the family farm and my son started working on the same farm at 9. I am in a different career now but None of the farmers I know hire or let any other child other than family work the farm. The equipment is too expensive and there is too much that could go wrong to take the risk of having kids who were not brought up respecting the dangers
The government has no business getting involved. It is not like it used to be when kids quit school to work the farm. I bet if you ask any family farmer they want their kids to get a good education so they don't have to depend on weather and prices for their income

Lifelong Democrat who is not in favor of this. I grew up working on a family farm, it taught me the value of a dollar and the payoff of hard work. This is a true definition of govt overreacting.

It's not a conservative thought, it's a common sense one.

If a minor is working on a farm owned by his/her family then the family should regulate... period.

Hell, if a minor works in any business their family owns .. so long as it doesn't hurt school work!

The problem seems to be that farm families haven't been paying dues to union thugs for the privilege of earning a living on their own property.

If farm families would just support the communist regime, they wouldn't be facing this attack from the dept of labor.

Chicago politics at it again.

She has her moments!
She sprang her ankle February of last year from leaning too far left !
Sara has a conservative moment to prevent that from happening !

The Obama admin. has decided not to implement new regulations concerning minors working on farms.

How many unions have you been in to know about paying dues and thugs?

No, just because I don't agree with everything they do, doesn't mean I don't agree with anything they do. There have been Republican ideas I thought were good as well. But I'm not considered an independent by any means. I'm just open minded, stay informed and use common sense. Everybody has an idea, but not everybody's idea is good. Just because a dem has an idea, doesn't mean I'm going to automatically agree. Same goes with Republicans, I don't disagree with all of their ideas. I just agree with dems more.

As a Democrat I do believe there are government regulations And laws that should be reviewed and either Modified or done away with, places where spending should be cut, etc. As many of the laws and regulations put forth by each party are "reactionary" and the consequences are mostly unintended.

I'm just glad to see everyone agree on something. This is an example of effective governing.

So if you guys want to reply and call me names or whatever, go for it.
