Maine

On August 22, Project Coordinator Lani Carlson presented AgrAbility program information to 32 veteran beginning farmers from Maine (and two from out of state). The farmers were participating in the Armed to Farm training hosted in Bangor by the United Farmer Veterans organization.

Project Coordinator Lani Carlson staffed an AgrAbility educational display at Maine Farm Days in Clinton, Maine, on August 23-24. The event, hosted by Misty Meadows Farm, gives the public and farmers an opportunity to visit a working farm, see the operation of new equipment and technology, and visit with over 50 service providers and vendors.

Project Director Richard Brzozowski distributed the newly published impact publication about AgrAbility to the 30 attendees at the August 2017 Agricultural Council of Maine (AGCOM) meeting. He also reported to AGCOM that AgrAbility was involved in a short presentation at the Armed to Farm course.
