May was filled with catching up on projects and answering VR farm assessment questions and supplying quotes. It also included the attempt to conduct a virtual farm assessment of completed VR farm modifications (notice it was an attempt). Staff took part in a zoom meeting with the Indiana VR home modification workgroup and Indiana Director of Project Initiatives. Indiana/Purdue regulations have wavered from being able to conduct farm assessments, to not being able to, to now one can with a mask and social distancing. Farmers want to see a person and be able to discuss matters in a more relaxed environment.
