We had a great time at Farm Science Review, where we connected with many farmers and students. We loved talking with everyone and sharing how AgrAbility services can support farmers and promote independence through agriculture.
Our team also attended 27 inclusive livestock shows at county fairs this year and had the honor of awarding over 700 medals to the amazing exhibitors.
Looking ahead, we're excited to announce that next year marks the 10th anniversary of the Cursive Ohio Charity Bike Adventure! https://www.facebook.com/cursiveohio All proceeds from this event go directly to Ohio AgrAbility. Be sure to follow Cursive Ohio on Facebook for updates and details on how you can get involved.
A huge thank you to everyone who visited with us this year! We can't wait to see you again.
