Event Focused on Farmer Wellness and Veteran Farmers
AgrAbility of Wisconsin wrapped up a busy winter event season by hosting its 2023 Summit event this past April 6, in Tomah, Wis. Over 45 attendees spent the day learning about farmer wellness and veteran resources, soil health and strategic farm business planning.
“We are very pleased with the event, and the crowd, and especially our stellar presenters,” says Andrea Klahn, AgrAbility of Wisconsin Outreach Specialist. “Jeff Ditzenberger really stole the show and gave a powerful keynote speech about his journey with mental health. Both TUGS and the Wisconsin Farm Center are great resources for farmers.”
