Grandparents and family ties shape children in later years
A reflective piece explores how secure family bonds from two parents and caring grandparents foster self worth and continuity for children. It notes some youths missed this, cites grandparent understanding as key, and praises elders who stay young at heart. The column shifts to farm advice from Harold Gunderson on weather impacts, pests, plowing, green manures, and crop protection, ending with a proverb about self perception.
