ABOUT THIS YEAR'S CHARITY
From Austin Heil: "Being a 6th generation farmer, I am excited to support a new charity this year. This year the funds will support https://agrability.osu.edu/. The Ohio AgrAbility Project is part of a national program from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that assists farmers and other agricultural workers with disabilities by providing the resources and support they need to live independently, and to continue or return to working in production agriculture."
