“Farming’s In-Law Factor,” by Elaine Froese and Dr. Megan McKenzie, has been chosen for the Nebraska Women in Agriculture program’s 2023 third quarter book club. Froese will lead the virtual discussion of this book at 1 p.m. Central time on Sept. 7.
Every farm team wants harmony on their family farm and “Farming’s In-Law Factor” shows readers how to get it and offers insights into how family systems work. For example, the “culture of agriculture” section is a great primer for urban folks or new farm brides from the city who have not grown up waving to strangers they pass on the road. The book is packed with helpful hints on what the daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law and son-in-law needs. There are toolboxes that you can use to find out what’s working and what is not working for your farm business partners, who also happen to be family.
Froese is the award-winning author of five books and a go-to expert for farm families who want better communication and conflict resolution to secure a successful farm transition. As a farmer and mother to the successor of their farm, she intimately understands the culture of agriculture. Her superpower is helping families find harmony through understanding.
Registration opens July 13 and is free but required at wia.unl.edu/book-club.
The first 20 registrants will receive a complimentary copy of the book.
