Scholl, a consumer economist with the U.S. Department Agriculture. At a recent Agricultural Research Service symposium, "Research for Small Farms,” Scholl discussed the con tributions, both negative and positive, of family members to the small farm and the farm family. Emotional support of the family members can be an asset to both farm and family, helping the family to cope with the stress of farming," said Scholl. However, if the family members do not have strong supportive relationships with each other, both the family and the farm may suffer, said Scholl, of USDA’s Family Economics Research Group. Among 130 oc cupations rated in the incidence of stress related diseases, farming ranks tenth, according to a 1978 study, by hpitional In stitute for Occupational Safety and Health. Women tfsually contribute to the financial stability of the farm a great deal. A 1980' USDA study of farm women shows that their off-the-farm in come-is usually greater than their farm income, said Scholl. At the tune of the study, almost one third of the farm women received income from off-the-farm em ployment. Over half of the working farm women said that they worked off-the-farm because of financial needs; and farm ex penses were mentioned as one of the financial reasons. Eugene Wiikemng at the University of Wisconsin, in a recent study of husbands and wives on Wisconsin farms, found an in creased contribution of farm labor by the wives since 1962, said Scholl. This was not matched by the husband’s in volvement in additional household tasks. This additional farm work by women is an asset to the farm, but it is a liability to the household if less tune is devoted to the care of the family and the home.
