Brickbat: Down on the Farm

In Wales, farmer Howard Walters has been sentenced to 12 months probation and ordered to pay £3,500 ($4,619) after a neighbor videotaped him allowing one of his grandchildren to ride in the cab of his tractor with him. Walters had already received an official warning from the Healthy and Safety Executive after he admitted allowing his grandchildren to ride with him in his tractor.
