But safety experts say more teenagers under the age of 16 die each year working on farms than in all other industries combined.With the presidential election just six months away, supporters and critics alike say the new rules were just too controversial.   North Country Public Radio’s Brian Mann reports.

<title>Vanishing Youth:  Why do some young people stay?</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19717/20120424/vanishing-youth-why-do-some-young-people-stay</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 24, 2012) This week, we&apos;re beginning an on-going series looking at the future of the North Country from the perspective of young people. New research from Cornell University shows counties in our region continuing to age, with fewer young families, fewer young professionals and fewer kids.  In the weeks ahead, we&apos;ll be looking at this problem from a lot of different angles. Today, Brian Mann talks with Tim Morse, a North Country native who made a different choice, returning and making a career in the region.  Tim, who is 26 years old, arrived back home earlier this month, leaving Chicago to take a job at SUNY Potsdam. He spoke with Brian right after getting off the road.
