Staff and community volunteers conducted volunteer workdays for two farmer clients. One farm's volunteers included UGA Alpha Gamma Rho members and the other included FFA members/agricultural education teacher and Georgia Young Farmer Association members. Two press articles regarding the FFA members and the Young Farmers are listed in the "AgrAbility in the News" section.

Staff attended the Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition in Moultrie, Georgia. The Expo is one of the largest agricultural events in the South. Georgia AgrAbility expanded its footprint this year with a 100-foot by 75-foot exhibit area. Over 2,000 people came to the exhibit area during the three days of the event. Staff engaged many farmers in discussing AgrAbility information, assistive technologies, and how to become a client. Five potential new clients were identified during the Expo. The press produced two videos about Georgia AgrAbility at the exhibit site. Links to these videos are listed in the "AgrAbility in the News" section.
