Latta co-sponsors ag-related measure

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) co-sponsored the Preserving America’s Family Farms Act, H.R. 4157, which prohibits the U.S. Department of Labor from implementing any regulation that would restrict farm youths from working on family-owned farms.

“The proposed youth labor regulation is a misguided idea that threatens the ability of America’s youth to work on their family’s farm,” said Latta. “Less than one percent of Ohioans earn a living on the farm, and another intrusion from Washington on the agriculture community could prevent our nation from building the next generation of farmers.”
