Youngest I ever had was probably 13 drive the tractors. Never worried or cared if a adult had a license or not to drive a tractor.
Anymore not a concern. Older people that will do farm work are dying out and younger generations want nothing to do with farming..
No one really messes with a farmer on those regs around here or most places I think. In Texas the DFWTF was a abbreviation they had there. Basically means leave the farmer alone unless they are doing something really bad. Although we can be held to the same standards at least before it goes to court. Farmers feed America and contractors like us or y'all now make life better.
