The Obama administration is proposing that children who live on a farm in rural areas be banned from doing chores around the farm.
While rural communities raised self-sustaining people who could plant and harvest their own crops, Obama is seeking to remove this American tradition by making it a criminal offense.
Obama has empowered the Department of Labor (DoL) to finalize a federal rule that will apply child labor laws to children working on farms. A list of jobs they will no longer be allowed to preform will be amended to the rule. These will be jobs like, “in the storing, marketing and transporting of farm product raw materials.”
The DoL specifics that “prohibited places of employment include country grain elevators, grain bins, silos, feed lots, stockyards, livestock exchanges and livestock auctions.”
By August 31, 2012, the new regulations set forth by Obama and the DoL will mandate government safety training and certification in classes will replace those once provided by rural institutions like the 4-H and the FFA .
A 90 hour federal government training course will be required by law.
Obama wants to firmly control the education of farming that is traditionally passed down through families and limit it to what the US government wants them to know.
Farms are viewed by the US government as property and therefore cannot be run by anyone not certified to do so.
The executive order National Defense Resources Preparedness specifies in Section 801:
“Farm equipment” means equipment, machinery, and repair parts manufactured for use on farms in connection with the production or preparation for market use of food resources
“Food resources” means all commodities and products, (simple, mixed, or compound), or complements to such commodities or products, that are capable of being ingested by either human beings or animals, irrespective of other uses to which such commodities or products may be put, at all stages of processing from the raw commodity to the products thereof in vendible form for human or animal consumption. “Food resources” also means potable water packaged in commercially marketable containers, all starches, sugars, vegetable and animal or marine fats and oils, seed, cotton, hemp, and flax fiber, but does not mean any such material after it loses its identity as an agricultural commodity or agricultural product.
“Food resource facilities” means plants, machinery, vehicles (including on farm), and other facilities required for the production, processing, distribution, and storage (including cold storage) of food resources, and for the domestic distribution of farm equipment and fertilizer (excluding transportation thereof).
Under the Obama dictatorship, farming a commodity of the US government to be regulated at it sees fit.
The White House Rural Council is empowered to:
Coordinate and increase the effectiveness of Federal engagement with rural stakeholders, including agricultural organizations, small businesses, education and training institutions, health-care providers, telecommunications services providers, research and land grant institutions, law enforcement, State, local, and tribal governments, and nongovernmental organizations regarding the needs of rural America.
In this executive order, Obama uses language from the Agenda 21 plan by the UN. He refers to “sustainable rural communities”, meaning that the US government will be the benefactor of these rural communities with the Rural Council as their attack dog.
Through mandates by the Department of Transportation (DOT) Obama has placed stifling restrictions on farming equipment that has led to the bankruptcy of thousands of small farms across the nation.
Restrictions like forcing farmers to obtain a CDL to drive their tractors on public roads; as well as the reclassification of farm vehicles and implements to commercial motor vehicles (CMV).
While the Environmental Protection Agency is imposing fines on farmers for “farm dust” and the Food and Drug Administration sending swat teams to arrest farmers at the local seasonal farmer’s market for selling raw milk, the assault on an American tradition.
The Obama administration has made it clear that they will adopt UN agendas and force Americans to follow these regulations.
A once wonderful way to bring up our children, teaching them about responsibility and accountability along with teaching them to be self-sustaining is being stripped from our hands.
