July 2018: AgrAbility PA Project Highlights

Published by agrabilitypa on July 30, 2018July 30, 2018

Twilight Dairy Farm tour, Instagram takeover, and prepping for Ag Progress Days (in August) have kept AgrAbility PA busy in July.

AgrAbility PA partnered with Penn State Extension to provide information about AgrAbility resources and managing stress on the farm to attendees at an Extension Twilight Tour. This evening event was held at Zahncroft Dairy Farm. Attendees were farm families from surrounding farms. The evening was spent exploring the new dairy facilities, interacting with the farm staff, learning from a local veterinarian, and enjoying locally made ice cream.

AgrAbility PA and Pennsylvania Assistive Technology Foundation (PATF) had an Instagram swap! PATF posted pictures and information to @AgrAbilityPA June 25-29 and AgrAbility posted pictures and information to @Pennsylvaniaatf July 16-20. This was a fun activity that increased followers for both groups. Follow both accounts on Instagram to see the pictures!

AgrAbility PA staff is gearing up for Ag Progress Days in August. Lots of preparation for this three day agricultural event at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Penn State University.
