Saturday, April 25,1992 A NORTH CORNWALL (Leba non County) An animal hous ing exposition similar in purpose and design to the annual Penn State University Ag Progress Days is scheduled for July 14 and IS, according to a multi-county agri cultural engineer. Patrick Richie, multi-county engineer said that he and Dan McFarland, also a multi-county engineer, are hosting the event According to Richie, he and McFarland saw a need for a hous ing facility exposition in the south central Pennsylvania area and with the opening of the Lebanon con vention center, they now have the facility and don’t have to put up with city congestion. The exposition is to be the first of many, said Richie. “Basically, we wanted to give farmers a show similar to Ag Prog ress days that was animal housing related. Since we work this area, we decided to have it down in south eeastern Pennsylvania. That’s also where a large percen tage of our agriculture is any way,” Richie said. Bradford County Sets Tractor Program TOWANDA (Bradford Co.) Farmers who expect to hire anyone under 16 years of age to work on a farm should be aware of the child labor requirements in agriculture under the Fair Labor Standards Act Under child labor provisions of the Act it is unlawful for an employer to hire anyone under 16 years of age to operate a tractor of mote than 20 P.T.O. horsepower or to connect or disconnect an implement or any of its parts to or from such a tractor. Also illegal according to the regulation would be the opperating or assisting to operate most tractor powered or self-powered equip ment Some livestock, lumbering, storage, and pesticide work is clas sified hazardous and illegal. Youth employed by parent or guardian are exempt Some may question the legal importance of the training, since there haven’t been any court cases in Pennsylvania. However, if a ser ious accident involving an uncerti fied youth occurs, the resuiting investigations could be very uncomfortable for the employer.
