Secretary of Labor George P. Shultz proposes an amendment to allow 14 and 15 year olds in vocational agriculture programs to drive tractors and operate machinery after completing safety training. Employers must provide constant supervision and instructors with farm safety expertise would run the programs. Written data or arguments to modify the amendment are due by May 30 to the Bureau of Labor Standards in Washington DC, with the proposal appearing in the April 30 Federal Register.
