A.An international rights group is urging the U.S. government to protect children who work on U.S. tobacco farms.

B.Cigarette makers do not believe that more regulations are needed, saying that they require growers to provide a safe environment for workers.

C.Kentucky State Senator Paul Hornback employs workers on his Kentucky tobacco farm.

D.A report states that children sometimes work in hazardous conditions on U.S. tobacco farms.

International rights group Human Rights Watch released a report about children who work on U.S. tobacco farms. In response to the results, the organization is urging the government and the tobacco industry to protect these young workers.
The report is based on interviews with more than 140 children working on farms in the U.S. states of North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. It claims that children as young as 7 are in some cases working long hours in fields harvesting tobacco leaves. Sometimes, the work is done under hazardous conditions. Most of what the group documented is legal. Human Rights Watch wants cigarette makers to push for safety on farms from which they buy tobacco. The group also wants the U.S. government to change labor laws.
"The U.S. has failed America's families by not meaningfully protecting child farmworkers from dangers to their health and safety, including on tobacco farms," said Margaret Wurth, a children's rights researcher who co-authored the report.
In their interviews, the child tobacco farm workers indicated that their health and safety were indeed at risk. Nearly three-quarters of them reported becoming ill, with symptoms including vomiting, nausea, and headaches. These are indications of Green Tobacco Sickness, which can occur when a person handles tobacco leaves and nicotine is absorbed into the skin. The children also reported working long hours, often in extremely hot conditions, which can be dangerous. They said that they were not given overtime pay or sufficient breaks. In addition, the children and they donned no, or inadequate, protective gear.

U.S. law puts limits on labor performed by minors (children under age 18). But these restrictions vary by industry.

According to the Human Rights Watch report, U.S. agriculture labor laws are more lax, allowing children to work longer hours at younger ages and in more hazardous conditions than children in any other industry. With a parent's permission, children as young as 12 can be hired for unlimited hours outside of school hours on a farm of any size. There's no minimum age for children to work on small farms. In 2011, the U.S. Labor Department proposed changes that would have prohibited age 16 from working on tobacco farms. However, these changes were never passed into law.
Human Rights Watch met with many of the world's biggest cigarette makers and tobacco growers to discuss its findings. The group hoped to push the farms and companies to adopt or strengthen their labor and safety policies. The companies say that they are concerned about child labor. They have developed standards, including requiring growers to provide a safe work environment and adhere to child labor laws.

Based on information in the article, what is one way that small farms are different from larger ones in the U.S.?
A.Children working on small farms are less likely to harvest tobacco leaves and show signs of Green Tobacco Sickness.

B.Labor laws do not set a minimum age at which children are able to start working on small farms in the United States.

C.United States labor laws for small farms are being questioned, especially for workers who are age 18 or older.

D.Small farms have enough money to offer better pay and more effective protective gear to their field laborers.
