Michigan to Host National Conference on Disability in Agriculture

By Samantha Wolfe

The annual AgrAbility National Training Workshop (NTW), the premier conference addressing issues of disability in agriculture, will take place March 16-19, 2026, in Traverse City, Michigan. Hosted at the Park Place Hotel and Conference Center downtown, the four-day event will bring together more than 200 Extension professionals, farmers and ranchers, veterans, rehabilitation specialists, rural health providers and agricultural stakeholders from across the country to share knowledge, build capacity and strengthen support networks for producers with disabilities and functional limitations. Several Michigan State University Extension educators will be among the presenters.

The AgrAbility National Training Workshop aims to empower professionals and agricultural participants through practical education, opportunities for networking and collaboration, and resources that enhance service delivery and independence in agricultural work through two days of breakout sessions, programming, and optional tours visiting client farms and other local agricultural and food production operations.
