Chuck Baldwin, Breaking New Ground (BNG)/IN AgrAbility project manager, and Steven Etheridge, IN AgrAbility VR consultant, staffed an AgrAbility booth at the Northern Indiana Grazing Conference February 2-3. The conference took place in Shipshewana, Indiana, and the vast majority of the approximately 700 in attendance were Amish and Old Order Mennonite. The literature taken the most often from the AgrAbility table was the "Plain Facts on Arthritis" booklet and the "Weeds In Our Garden" coloring book. Good contacts were made and BNG/IN AgrAbility received an invitation to participate in the Old-Fashioned Farm Days in July 2018.
