The National AgrAbility Project, in collaboration with LifeLyfts and Ohio AgrAbility, once again exhibited at the 2025 National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Kentucky. The show, held February 12-15, is the largest indoor farm trade show in the United States with over 300,000 attendees. Visitors from throughout the U.S. and numerous international locations attend the show to view the latest agricultural technology and equipment from around the world. AgrAbility's display included an accessible lift-equipped tractor, several smaller assistive technology devices, and a variety of AgrAbility resource materials. NAP team members, Purdue Ag Safety and Health Program staff, and Indiana AgrAbility volunteers were assisted by Dee Jepsen, Randy Joseph, and Rachel Jarman in staffing the booth during the four-day show. The National Farm Machinery Show provides a great opportunity to introduce AgrAbility's services to a huge agricultural audience. In addition, many clients and friends of AgrAbility stop by the display each year to catch up with staff, which is always enjoyed and appreciated.
