Despite the department's announcement last week that it is going to re-propose the ''parental exemption'' part of the rule, farmers and ranchers are still worried about the proposed changes, which could significantly affect the way families work their operations.
Through Keep Families Farming, individuals can tell their own stories and file comments. In addition, the site also allows organizations to register their support of the effort.
American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) strongly supports this effort and urges state Farm Bureaus to list themselves as a supporting organization and to encourage their members to file their own stories and comments about how the rule will affect them.
