Indiana AgrAbility again had an exhibit at the Indiana State Fair in the FFA Pavilion. Staffed by AgrAbility personnel, consultants, and volunteers, the exhibit included an AgrAbility popup, AgrAbility publications, It's About Hope and Restoring Hope, Renewing Productivity videos, beginning farmer and veteran resources, Indiana Farmer Veteran publications, VR publications, health and safety publications, a tool display "Tools to Make Your Life Easier", a John Deere tractor with a Life Essentials lift, and an Action Track Stander power wheelchair.

Steve Swain, Indiana AgrAbility rural rehabilitation specialist, presented AgrAbility, farm safety, and assistive technology on the farm, to the agriculture mechanization class at North Montgomery High School. The class is part of the North Montgomery FFA chapter that was a past winner of the Bridging Horizons Community Service Contest sponsored by Indiana AgrAbility. Class members asked many questions about AgrAbility and continuing to farm with a disability.
