Congratulations you survived being a kid roaming around the farm. Some didn’t, I hope your attitude changes before you have kids. Farms are job sites you can get your kids interested in Ag without them roaming unsupervised.I'm afraid you're the one talking a load of rubbish. Don't get me wrong H&S is very important but this whole "kids shouldn't be on farms" really quite angers me. Seems to be English arable farmers, maybe its a different, less family orientated farming culture down there, but I'm a young lad of 20 and I can tell you if I wasnt about the farm as a wean then I'd probably not be farming now. There's that many distractions and other interests for youths to take nowadays especially with the internet. You should ofc drum H&S into your kids. I.e. when you hear a tractor coming, stand with your back against a wall or keep them in the cab with you. But we talk about the govt doing everything to cancel agriculture in the UK, well I think you've got a plan to beat them. If you don't introduce the next generation, There. Will. Not. Be. One!!!!!
