@NatureMC i finally finished listening to this just now (so many interruptions before!) and cannot say how much i loved it. So, so much in this - #Seasons, #Folklore, #IndigenousKnowledge (in Alsace), #ClimateChange, #ShiftingBaselines #Phenology and so much more. Thinking of you and Bilbo just now! 💚

I've been saying for years that we need to change school schedules so that kids are free when it's cool enough to enjoy the outdoors- spring & fall. The notion that kids are needed at home for agricultural work has been a myth since the 60s.

In the US both the # of children who live on farms, and the chores they can do on a largely industrialized farm have steeply decreased.

@NatureMC I was speaking of family-owned farms, where children are expected to do age-appropriate chores.
Minors doing inappropriate labor on corporate farms & in factories is a separate issue.
