January 2023: AgrAbility PA Project Highlights
It’s January and in Pennsylvania that means INDOOR FARM SHOWS!
AgrAbility PA staff presented and exhibited at two farm shows taking place the same week in January.
Kendra Martin delivered a presentation to attendees at the 107th Pennsylvania Farm Show. Kendra shared a 30-minute session on AgrAbility and how it assists Pennsylvania farmers. The presentation was captured by the state’s cable network, PCN, and was broadcasted across the state several times in the week that followed. Several legislative and networking opportunities have resulted from this outreach event.
Abbie Spackman and Linda Fetzer staffed an interactive exhibit at the Keystone Farm Show. This three-day show is one of the largest commercial farm equipment trade shows in the area. AgrAbility provided hands on assistive technology (AT) demos included a grain bin level indicator, winter AT, hand injury AT, and educational handouts.
Abbie Spackman and Linda Fetzer provided an educational session at the Messick’s Open House event. They provided information on AgrAbility, ag safety and health, and demonstrations that included a grain bin level indicator demo, hand injury AT, and more. Messick’s is an agricultural equipment dealer in Central PA.
