Farmers reject regulation on farm safety standards
The debate over OSHA on farms pits advocates for stronger safety against farmers who favor education over mandates. Walsh wins a compromise to hand census data to committees. Kinney calls for mandatory inspections if needed, while Wille and Pollock push for voluntary or carrot-based approaches. Experts urge more funding for research and practical measures to reduce farm accidents and child exposure.
