Nanny government is growing.
Now they don't like kids doing chores at the family farms. I guess they'd rather the farmers hire a bunch of illegal aliens so the kids can hang around in the house and play video games.
Farmers care about their children and they don't put them in danger. While accidents happen now and then, it's no different with city kids. 4-H and FFA have been around for decades and have taught kids a lot. Now the government thinks it's own quickie course would be superior to the years of real training and experience the kids get out of the other non-government programs. No government program has ever, and will never, teach anyone about the value of hard work.
What's next, all children will be banned from cleaning their rooms, feeding the family pet or mowing the lawn? Let's just teach them that work is a bad thing.

The new regulations, first proposed August 31 by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, would also revoke the governments approval of safety training and certification taught by independent groups like 4-H and FFA, replacing them instead with a 90-hour federal government training course.
