SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE AND FINDINGS. 
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This Act may be cited as the 
‘‘Preserving America’s Family Farms Act’’. 
(b) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that— 
(1) family farms have a long history and tradi-
tion of providing youth with valuable work experi-
ence; 
(2) Department of Labor regulations should not 
adversely impact the longstanding tradition of youth 
working on farms where they can gain valuable skills 
and lessons on hard work, character, and leadership; 
(3) the Department of Labor’s proposed regula-
tions would have curtailed opportunities for youth to 
gain experiential learning and hands-on skills for en-
rollment in vocational agricultural training; 
(4) the proposed regulations would have ob-
structed the opportunity for youth to find rewarding 
employment and earn money for a college education 
or other meaningful purposes; 
(5) the proposed regulations would have limited 
opportunities for young farmers wishing to pursue a 
career in agriculture at a time when the average age 
of farmers continues to rise; and 
(6) working on a farm has become a way of life 
for thousands of youth across the rural United 
States.
