Rauville: Kind of a shame what has happened across North America. I've seen my dad with a dozen teenagers around the farm. They operated everything, and did it safely. We enjoyed the luxury of never having a lost time accident in two generations. As I look back over dad's students, not one of them has ever been seriously injured in an accident since, be it work place, on the highway, etc. We are going to be hard pressed to give these kids the kinds of safety experience they received on farms. What is learned in those crucial years from 8 to 16 so very very valuable. I realize that from time to time an accident will occur on a farm somewhere, but is it any more prevalant than amoung kids with nothing to do. My dad used to say, " the only way to stay out of trouble was do nothing." I'm not sure that will work anymore.
