Strong Family Women Key To Small Farms
Strong family ties and women play central roles in small family farms according to USDA economist Dr. Kathleen K. Scholl. At a symposium on Research for Small Farms she cited emotional support as an asset and noted stress risks if supportive bonds fade. Off farm income and growing farm labor by wives bolster farm finances, but can strain home life. Division of farm and household decisions hinges on communication and goal setting, while educated children enhance technology transfer and resource use.
