Regional AgrAbility Events are a great way to network with AgrAbility peers and other professionals that have a role in assisting our clients.
The AgrAbility Regional Training Workshop in Ft. Collins will focus on FSA farm loans, business plans for farmers, veterans and farming, niche farming-fowl, Action Trackchair, beginning farmers program, and women in ranching. A tour of CSU’s Agricultural Research Development and Education Center on day two will allow us to do some farm assessment with Steve Swain.
We have arranged for rooms to be saved at the federal per diem rate of $91 at the Ft. Collins Marriott until 8/29/14.
