Maine AgrAbility in Farmington will feature success stories and resources for farmers and other agricultural workers in a day-long virtual state fair Tuesday, Oct. 20 on Facebook and Twitter, according to a news release from the University of Maine Cooperative Extension.

Maine AgrAbility provides assistance, education and support to agricultural workers with disabilities. Events during the fair will include videos of clients showcasing the breadth of Maine’s agriculture and solutions to address common limitations faced by agricultural workers related to mental, physical or cognitive health issues.

Stories include veterans serving their country in a new way, women-owned businesses, and students’ first jobs on a farm. The day ends with a video premiere of “Managing Farm Stress,” with a discussion led by University of Maine Cooperative Extension human development specialist Leslie Forstadt.
