When I was director of human resources, we often told our supervisors and managers that the best recognition was expressed on a daily basis. That could mean a simple pat on the back, thanking and encouraging, for example, when the work has been done within a very short time frame. That was often the best way to ensure that our people were confident and felt that their work was being recognized. We understand very well that it is not easy for a farmer who often works alone, who is his own boss and has no superior to tell him he is doing excellent work every day.
Thank you and congratulations. Like Mr. Berthold, I am looking forward to reading your thesis.
