Maine AgrAbility Project Director Richard Brzozowski recently finalized the following University of Maine Cooperative Extension publications which can be useful for career exploration and skill building:
- Farmer Skill and Knowledge Checklist for Calf Care and Calf-Rearing #1047
- The Benefits and Drawbacks of Farm Work Experience in Maine #1063
Maine AgrAbility staff and advisory council members shared the three-day schedule providing coverage at the AgrAbility booth at the Annual Agricultural Trades show in Augusta January 14-16. The exhibit theme 
was "What stresses you out on the farm?" with an interactive display and resources. Staff also shared new stickers with tractor and equipment operators to help reduce the risk of errors in refueling their equipment.
Mental health resources compiled through AgrAbility efforts were shared as part of the January 2020 Farm and Food System Newsletter. This is a monthly publication covering a variety of topics, resources, and events for Maine farmers. https://extension.umaine.edu/agrability/2020/01/27/resources-for-managing-farm-stress/
