The Ohio AgriBusiness Association (OABA) is seeking input from our grain handling/feed facility members by Monday, November 21, 2011 regarding the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) proposed revisions to child labor regulations that would ban youth less than 18 years of age from engaging in specific types of work at off-farm agricultural business, as well as on farms not owned or operated by their parents.
Because of the broad scope of the proposed revisions, OABA believes member companies and rural communities could be negatively impacted. OABA plans to submit comments and is asking our grain handling/feed facility members to complete the questionnaire we have linked below. The more economic data, anecdotes and examples we are able to incorporate into our comments, the more impactful our arguments will be.

For additional details regarding DOL’s proposed revisions, please read this OABA News & Notes article, which also has links to additional information.
