Richard Brzozowski made an AgrAbility presentation at the Maine Farm Bureau Annual Meeting, held Saturday, November 9, in Portland. Richard also shared Maine AgrAbility and the successful E2C symposium information with AGCOM on Tuesday, October 29, in Augusta. AGCOM is a collaboration of agricultural groups that provide leadership and advocacy on agricultural issues that affect all sectors of Maine agriculture.
Anne Devin was featured in the Portland Press Herald article, "Former Marine turned to farming and helps other vets do the same." Devin said she has identified about 250 veterans or veteran spouses in Maine who are either actively farming or have indicated an interest in agriculture. Her job is to help guide them to success, even if they are reticent to ask for help. "That's where I'm finding my sweet spot, both personally and professionally," she said. "It's to network with veterans and make sure they have the appropriate resources."
