Ohio

Staff and farmer/OSU Extension colleague Kane Lewis presented with Texas AgrAbility on building a peer network/mentoring program. Staff also co-presented five sessions with AgrAbility SRAP colleagues. Thank you to all of the presenters for so many opportunities for networking, collaborating, learning and improving our processes and service delivery. The Ohio farmers who attended were all very impressed with the quality of sessions, resources, and information shared.

March 6, OAP hosted a peer-to-peer networking meeting in Bellville, Ohio. Attendees were a mix of "regulars" as well as new farmers and family members. OAP staff shared an overview of the year, as well as news about future events and professional development opportunities. OAP staff continues to be grateful for their farmers and their dedication and willingness to travel across the state to meet with OAP staff and other farmers.
