The U.S. Department of Labor is inching closer to imposing new rules that would apply to child-labor laws to children working on family farms.

Under the new rules, children under 18 could no longer work “in storing, marketing, and transporting of farm product raw materials,” which would ban them from working near grain elevators, grain bins, silos, feed lots, stockyard, livestock exchanges, and livestock auctions.

The new regulations also would revoke the government’s approval of safety training and certification taught by independent groups like 4-H and the FFA, replacing them with a 90-hour federal government training course.

What’s your take on these new possible regulations?
