Carlson speaks about Maine AgrAbility program on Derek Volk Show
Lani Carlson, Maine AgrAbility coordinator with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, was a recent guest on The Derek Volk Show. The radio show focused on what functional limitation means, particularly in context of farming, and how the state is working with the agriculture community to better employ people with disabilities. Carlson spoke about the purpose and operation of the Maine AgrAbility program, a nonprofit partnership among UMaine Extension, Goodwill and Alpha One that assists farmers, loggers and fishermen with disabilities and chronic illnesses so they may remain active in production agriculture.
