Ineresting turn of phrase, there. There's no disincentive to work in other jobs (though kids should be at school), but maybe it's good to keep them away from a job where Children who work in agriculture suffer more than 23,000 injuries and 300 fatalities on American farms every year.

ETA: It also free up farm jobs for adults.
