UMaine Extension bulletin cited in Coshocton Tribune column on farm family relationships
A University of Maine Cooperative Extension bulletin was cited by the Coshocton Tribune in a column written by an Ohio State University Extension educator. The article, “Words of appreciation can help farm family relationships,” cited a bulletin written by UMaine Extension professors Leslie Forstadt and Tori Jackson, titled “Why ‘Thank You’ Matters: Expressing Appreciation Toward Partners and Family Members Farming Together.” The column included the passage, “Part of running a healthy farm is nurturing the relationships of the people who work and live there. It takes effort and commitment to express and share personal feelings with family members and other people who work with you on the farm. Sharing a few simple words of appreciation and love can make a dramatic difference in farm family relationships.”
