You're right, Mike, I don't think it does apply to family-farms.  I
understand the reasoning for protecting children, and I can name a few
folks who need a good lecture on safe farming practices.  I just really
don't see why a 15 year old today can't run run a tractor with all the
modern safety devices raking hay when many of the folks on this list grew
up younger than that helping around a steel wheeled tractor belted to a
thresher.
