The 102nd annual meeting of the National Association of County Agricultural Agents (NACAA) was held in Salt Lake City July 9-13. AgrAbility of Utah staffed the AgrAbility display at the Trade Show and spoke with agents and attendees from more than 30 states about AgrAbility services and resources.

In July, AgrAbility of Utah staff continued providing educational presentations to Utah State Office of Rehabilitation (USOR) districts with a presentation at the Central District VR office in Payson on July 26. The purpose of the visits is to update all of Utah's vocational rehabilitation counselors about AgrAbility services and the partnership between USOR and AgrAbility of Utah. These presentations, conducted in partnership with state USOR staff, give AgrAbility of Utah an opportunity to provide training and respond to questions from USOR counselors and district staff.

AgrAbility of Utah staff conducted outreach at the Summer Meeting of the Utah Wool Growers July 31 in Park City. The wool growers support all lamb and wool producers in Utah by offering education, legislation, conservation, and marketing initiatives.
