Under heavy pressure from farm groups, the Obama administration said it would drop an unpopular plan to prevent children from doing work on farms owned by anyone other than their parents. The Labor Department said it is withdrawing proposed rules that would ban children younger than 16 from using most power-driven farm equipment, including tractors. The rules also would have prevented those younger than 18 from working in feed lots, grain bins and stockyards.
