Nebraska AgrAbility was represented by Soni Cochran at The Graze Master Group's inaugural event, "The Essentials of Agriculture Workshop". The Graze Master Group focuses on a comprehensive approach to total agriculture health and the concepts of regenerative agriculture. The two-day workshop was held August 26-27 at the Cheyenne County Fairgrounds in Sidney, Nebraska. Del Ficke is the founder of The Graze Master Group. Del is a former AgrAbility client and later served as a rural rehabilitation specialist for AgrAbility. Del introduced Soni to the participants and shared how he benefited from AgrAbility. Several people attending the workshop stopped by the AgrAbility table and visited with Soni about AgrAbility. They also shared their experiences and mentioned people they knew who had benefited from the program.

Located in "Raising Nebraska" at the Nebraska State Fair, Nebraska AgrAbility focused on arthritis and agriculture on Older Nebraskans Day on August 29. A "knowledge wheel" was especially popular with attendees who took a spin to learn more about arthritis. Rod Peterson, Soni Cochran, and advisory board member Dave Paschold visited with the many fairgoers who stopped by to learn more about AgrAbility and arthritis. The Nebraska State Fair is held in Grand Island.
