The Importance of Learning to Communicate on the Farm

If you grew up on the farm, chances are you learned a lot by watching and doing – whether it was mowing grass, running equipment, or figuring things out on the fly. But one thing most of us didn’t get formal training in…

Communication.

In this week’s blog, farm family coach Lyle Wiens shares a powerful reflection on how farm kids grow up mastering complex tools… but often miss the chance to build the relational tools that hold families (and businesses) together. He explores:

2. Why communication is high-stakes for farm families

3. How poor communication can cost more than broken equipment

4. What it takes to build communication skills from the ground up
