| Hello folks,
over the Labor Day weekend, the students in one of my conservation classes are interviewing active or current farmers that are 70 or older about how physical labor in agriculture has changed during their lifetime.
2 of the students in the class have indicated that they need help connecting with an interview candidate.
If any of you are willing to answer the following Qs, please shoot me an email ([email protected]) OR you could just post your answers as a reply to this message.
Thanks for considering this possibility!
