California bans weed pulling by hand on most farms
California becomes the first state to ban hand weeding on most farms, requiring long-handled tools to keep workers from bending. The rule, aimed at preventing back injuries, takes effect within two weeks though the extent of injured back cases remains unmeasured. Agriculture fuels over 1 million jobs and about $28 billion in the state, with crops like lettuce and strawberries often weeded by hand.
