<span style="font-size: larger;">The Obama administration has reversed a proposal that would have prevented farm kids from doing farm chores on their family farm. The Department of Labor wanted to apply child-labor laws to children working on the family farm. Under the proposed rules, children under 18 could no longer work &quot;in the storing, marketing and transporting of farm product raw materials.&quot;</span><br />
