  2. Hi I just wanted to let you know that your post is included in my NoteWorthy Reads post for this week (http://jahcmft.blogspot.com/2015/03/noteworthy-reads-7.html) This is very helpful to me as I've discovered that I come from a long line of farmers and some of those forms aren't very readable.
