They need to present the data instead of coming up with creative words to explain their points. The proposal would not affect young adults, not "kids", working on their own family farms. I want to see the number of children injured and killed in the past 10 years and break that information down by their age, location (state and county) and who they were working for and during month the injury/death happened. I 100% agree that young adults working in the Ag industry getting injured or killed puts a negative image on the Ag community. Money should be spent educating the young adults instead of using the money to regulate and enforce this new labor law.
