Agriculture and Community Well-Being: A Review of Three Research Studies
Personal observations are often obscure to the facts. For instance, recently I worked at a booth at Husker Harvest Days. The booth focused on rural community development.

Similarly, when working with communities, I have observed the lack of understanding of the importance of the agricultural producers to the local community’s well-being.
