I received this e-Update from our Nebraska Senator Johanns yesterday:

Senator Johanns e-Update
November 29, 2011


I want to remind you of a deadline approaching for those wishing to express thoughts on a proposed rule from the Department of Labor that could have far-reaching effects on the way farmers and ranchers conduct business. The proposal would ban those under the age of 16 from working on a farm or ranch not owned by their parents, preventing valuable learning activities that allow young people to gain experience in agriculture. Earlier this year, I asked the Labor Department to extend the comment period for this proposed rule, and you now have until this Thursday, December 1st to offer your thoughts. I strongly encourage those of you interested in sending a comment to do so.

Go to this link: http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=WHD-2011-0001-0001

Tomorrow is the deadline, so if you have a strong opinion on this, hurry!
