Non Technical Summary
Missouri AgrAbility Project (MAP) is a partnership between University of Missouri Extension, Lincoln University Cooperative Extension (an 1890 Land Grant University), the Brain Injury Association of Missouri, a private non-profit disability organization, and several other collaborators. Each partner has a unique set of attributes that will contribute to successful implementation of the MAP to increase the likelihood that AgrAbility customers and farm family members with disabilities experience success in production agriculture.Priorities will address the needs of Missouri AgrAbility customers, but also align with NIFA objectives in three program areas: education, networking, and direct assistance. Marketing initiatives in electronic formats will provide cost-effective and efficient means for AgrAbility education, awareness, outreach and training. Activities will increase the likelihood that AgrAbility customers and farm families become more successful by providing assistance and customized farmstead assessments.Underserved groups within the farm community will be targeted: military veterans, Hmong, Mennonite and socially disadvantaged farmers. Education and training objectives will target college students (Ag, Pharmacy, Health Sciences, and professionals working with our Customers).Content suitable for the eXtension Initiative through the Farm and Ranch eXtension Safety and Health CoP will be developed. MAP success will be measured by impact on improving (1) customers' quality of life, including work productivity, and (2) the capacity of MAP partners to deliver services to customers in a timely and satisfying manner. Professionals trained in evaluation methods will assist with program evaluation, and the MAP commits to participating in NAP demographic evaluation.

Goals / Objectives
The goal of Missouri AgrAbility is to increase the likelihood that individuals with disabilities and their families engaged in production agriculture (AgrAbility customers) will become more successful. To address the specialized needs of AgrAbility customers, Missouri AgrAbility will build statewide service capacity through education and networking. To accommodate disability in farming in individuals who engage in farming and farm-relate occupations, the program will provide direct assistance. Missouri's assistance addresses customer's immediate needs that are inadequately addressed by health, farm, and government service providers. Finally, Missouri AgrAbility will use marketing activities to direct the public to initiatives in AgrAbility-related education, networking and assistance.Specific goals for the duration of the Missouri AgrAbility Project include:EducationWithin the context of production agriculture, learning activities focus on enhancing competencies necessary to accommodate disabilities and avoid secondary injuries in persons with disabilities.Audience includes farmers as well as rural agricultural professionals, rehabilitation and health care providers, vocational counselors, and other providers of service to individuals with disabilities, and their families, who engage in farming or farm- related occupations.Delivery formats include authoring or adapting printable resources; live presentations taught in-person or remotely; recorded presentations that encourage audience interaction; and an Internet presence.Evaluation will appraise efficacy of AgrAbility educational efforts.NetworkingActivities encourage the sharing of information among, and the provision of services, value, or funds from, individuals or organizations not employed by AgrAbility.Partners include customers, peer supporters, volunteer groups, university student groups, stakeholders, and public and private funding organizations.Delivery formats include the donation of goods and services of direct benefit to AgrAbility customers.Evaluation will appraise an economic value of services rendered to AgrAbility and its customers.Direct AssistanceActivities focus on the early identification of farm and rural families that are in need of services related to the disability of an individual and on providing individualized consultative services that increase the likelihood that AgrAbility customers and their farm operations experience success.Audience includes AgrAbility customers and others working on the same farms.Delivery formats include product selection advice, accessibility and ergonomic recommendations, life activities and farm operations planning guidance, and advocacy to obtain service and financial aid. Assistance can occur in person or remotely.Evaluation will appraise successes experienced following AgrAbility intervention.MarketingActivities focus on program and project awareness that intend to make key audiences aware of Missouri's efforts.Audience includes the public across the state of Missouri.Delivery formats include public appearances with displays and the production or distribution of program awareness materials, press releases, public service announcements, print and electronic advertisements, web pages with awareness content, newsletters, or electronic notices.Evaluation will link AgrAbility marketing activities with registration, requests for information and consultation, and networking successes.
Project Methods
The Missouri AgrAbility Management Team will use a Logic Model to incorporate the four (4) USDA NIFA program objectives: Education, Networking, Direct Assistance and Marketing. Missouri's Program logically matches our statewide AgrAbility plan to undertake each of the four NIFA program objectives. It also illustrates Missouri's linkages between planned activities and desired outcomes. AgrAbility activities are grouped by project year in a sequence in which the activities are to be performed. The sum of activities under each objective leads to completion of that objective within the 4-year project duration. Each goal has multiple activities and charts against a quarterly scale to depict 4 years/16 quarters.To measure Missouri's success an evaluation mechanisms will include pre- and post- testing, focus group, round table discussions, process evaluations, counting recorded hits on webpages and follow-up surveys.

Progress 09/01/20 to 08/31/21

Outputs
Target Audience:Targeted audiences reached by our efforts during this reporting period include AgrAbility customers with disabilities: older, military veterans, Hmong, Mennonite, Spanish speaking, women in agriculture and socially disadvantaged. Additionally, youth, high schoolers, college students, farm families, extension specialists, governmental representatives, social service agencies, stakeholders and other professionals who serve or provide assistane to AgrAbility customers. Changes/Problems:COVID-19, a global pandemic forced Missouri AgrAbility staff to quickly move into a digital platform to achieve FY 3 2020 Activities. Goals were somewhat achieved but on a slightly different time frame amongst strict travel guidelines and lots of face-to-face restricts. Virtual and online platforms and adjustments were made to not only address but also, creatively try out new methodologies in which to deliver our original Plan of Work. Like other AgrAbility programs across the country, Missouri faced challenges, struggles, a few hiccups and achieved successes. Firstly, to maximum programmatic efforts collaborative partners reviewed Year 3, 2020 Activities and determined what best practices to virtually implement. For a variety of reasons several user-friendly online platforms were selected and used to reach our diverse audiences. For example, online social media outlets were used to disseminate e-publications, digital and web-based format resources while virtual teaching platforms were used to facilitate online programs and classes such as webinars, videos, live chats, podcasts, etc. Moving to an online, virtual platform contributed to Missouri's overall accomplishments of increasing the likelihood that AgrAbility customers and farm family members with disabilities experienced success in production agriculture. Changes in delivery styles and methodologies achieved an "unanticipated" surprise with an increase in provision of services, in-kind donations and fee-for-service agreements as well as significantly increased program awareness among AgrAbility customers, service providers and stakeholders. For example, virtual, online platforms allowed Missouri AgrAbility staff to produce electronic marketing materials; develop education and outreach e-publications; present oral/poster presentations at local, state, regional, national and internationals workshops/conferences; create a Missouri Library of AgrAbility related materials that include videoclips, photographs, podcasts and other digital formats; and construct education hands-on displays. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?The project provided the following training and professional development opportunities: Lincoln University Cooperative Extension staff who work for the Innovative Small Farmers' Outreach Program and collaborate with Mo AgrAbility received a half-day training regarding orientation and deliverable's to be achieved highlighted in LUCE ISFOP Year 3 Scope of Work. With this training effort, new ISFOP field staff received "ABC" training to highlight existing fracture in place to assist disabled farmers. Provided 16 virtual educational workshops, webinars, programs or online classes by LUCE ISFOP and MUE staff resulted in educating roughly 1,750 Missouri farmers, ranchers, family members, service providers and stakeholders. Used Jesup Wagon to teach AgrAbility customers about low-cost tools and demonstrate labor saving technologies that prevent secondary injuries, proper body mechanics and farm/ranch ergonomics. Trained LUCE ISFOP and MU Extension staff who provide online and virtual Mental Health First Aid workshops, Q.R.P. Gatekeeper classes, Communicating with Farmers Under Stress and Weathering the Storm programs to AgrAbility customers, farm families, youth and professionals. Highlighted Missouri AgrAbility during an Interprofessional Rural Health Panel for 35 student pharmacists at UMKC School of Pharmacy enrolled in the rural health & agrimedicine course. Panelists included rural pharmacists, rural health administrator, ag producer, flight nurse, and MU Extension. The seminar focused on team-based strategies to foster collaboration among interprofessional team members in rural communities to connect farmers and ranchers with resources and care needs to improve safety and health. Provided 25 marketing and networking opportunities: 6 Networking Coffees for Professionals. Provided 11 "outside of the project partnership" meetings with Missouri and national health, disability, vocational, Veteran services and agriculture professionals. Two BIA-MO Speakers Bureau online virtual exhibits and presentations for professional audiences. Provided one in-person support group for survivors of brain injury and family members Provided three BIA-MO Survivor & Family Online Seminars sponsorship and event registration material. These activities resulted in more than 4,000 contacts with current and potential AgrAbility clients. Throughout the 2020-2021 programming year Lincoln Universities ISFOP staff is proud of their efforts to increase the quality of life of Missouri farmers with disabilities. This has been achieved on local, regional, and statewide levels through education, networking, direct assistance and marketing activities. In collaboration with the University of Missouri, ISFOP staff hosted digital educational outreach webinars that focused on preventing secondary injury and best agricultural production practices. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results were disseminated to communities of interest using the following methods: Social Media Data provided a diverse range of information through our social media channels. The largest topic area was program promotion; this varied from programs Missouri AgrAbility is a partner, for example, Heroes to Hives of Missouri and MU Extension's Pixels of Production to programs offered by partners and other organizations focused on farmer and rancher health, safety and wellness. Each month, "all" Mo AgrAbility collaborative partners (MU Extension, LUCE ISFOP, BIA-MO Inc., and Pharm to Farm) contributed to the National AgrAbility eNote. Online at: http://www.agrability.org/news/. Lincoln University wrote an article highlighting the Missouri AgrAbility Jesup Wagon 2.0 method of education published in the January edition of the 1890 Association of Extension Administrators (AEA) Link: http://1890aea.org/. BIA-MO Connections newsletter featuring Missouri AgrAbility, BIA-MO Conference involvement of a session presentation, printed registration brochure and sponsorship feature during virtual conference and on BIA-MO website. The best method has been the Missouri AgrAbility MU Extension and BIA-MO Inc. social media outlets, press releases, video clips, radio interviews, word of mouth at local and state meetings and yearly Mo AgrAbility report. Missouri AgrAbility social media posts on Facebook has a total reach of 21,856 and a total of 23,999 impressions. Of the individuals Missouri AgrAbility reached on Facebook, 60% were women and 39% were men; with our largest audience being women ages 35-44. Our top performing post on the Missouri. Missouri AgrAbility social media posts on Twitter had 18,107 total impressions. Our top performing post on the Missouri AgrAbility Twitter focused on Farm Ranch Stress Assistance Center, AgrAbility virtual state fair, and brain injury awareness. Missouri AgrAbility social media posts on Instagram had a total reach of 6,103 and a total of 6,659 impressions. Our top performing post on the Missouri AgrAbility Instagram all focused on brain injury awareness, with the top post focusing on falls on the farm. The Brain Injury Association of Missouri is most proud of the continued effectiveness of the Brain Injury Fact of the Day media campaign. Coordinated messaging to increase awareness through website banner ads and social media posts, with links to the BIA-MO website, provided opportunities to educate about Missouri AgrAbility and brain injury. In addition, we are very pleased with the ongoing BIA-MO direct services of Information & Referral Service, Support Groups, BIA-MO Annual Statewide Professional Conference and our Survivor & Family Seminars. Despite the Support Groups, Conference and Seminars changing to online formats, persons with brain injury, family members and professionals received needed hope and help as they adjust to a quality farming life with brain injury. Online meetings with "outside of project partnership" professional networks have increased efficiency for participation in additional meetings. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Programmatically, Missouri will implement the USDA NIFA AgrAbility education, networking, direct assistance and marketing Activities. Each collaborator will have interdisciplinary and disciplinary responsibilities as summarized below by objectives and expected outputs in addition to outcomes and impacts summary. During the next reporting period we will develop new webinar series, live chats, podcasts, assistive technology related video clips for farmers with physical disabilities, use social media outlets to disseminate e-publications, digital and web-based format resources while virtual teaching platforms will be used to facilitate our online programs and classes. Moving to an online, virtual platform allows Missouri to accomplish our overall goal of increasing the likelihood that AgrAbility customers and farm family members with disabilities experienced success in production agriculture. To address the needs of AgrAbility customers, Missouri will continue to use our past experiences to build service capacity at the local and state levels through education and networking. We also will provide direct assistance to roughly 66 individuals with disabilities engaged in farming and farm-related occupations. Our form of direct assistance for AgrAbility customers will be dependent on their immediate needs that are inadequately addressed by health, farm, and government service providers.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Accomplishments include the following: Negotiated new, fee-for-service agreement with Vocational Rehabilitation that will go into effect July 1, 2021. Continued fee-for-service agreement with Rehab Services for the Blind. Facilitated 10 face-to-face fee for service onsite farmstead consultations with an additional 66 AgrAbility customers on waiting list.

Developed 2021 Mental Health Awareness Month Toolkit, in partnership with the Show-Me Farm Safety Committee, to raise awareness about mental health and suicide in rural, agricultural communities in Missouri. The toolkit offers practical resources to help strengthen farmer and rancher resilience with coping mechanisms to maintain balance and protect their mental health. Focused efforts to also promote brain injury awareness month, farm safety week and the AgrAbility National Virtual State Fair and launched Missouri AgrAbility YouTube channel to house our Library of AgrAbility educational videos and catalogue photos for use in electronic based publications, social media marketing, and program promotion. Delievered formats, trainings, educational materials and products identified as Missouri AgrAbility by using AgrAbility logo and other NIFA branding identification on promotional materials.

Progress 09/01/19 to 08/31/20

Outputs
Target Audience:AgrAbility customers (farmers and farm families), military veterans, socially disadvantaged, underserved (Hmong,Mennonite, and women) limited resources and beginning small farm operators with disabilities and farm families were thetarget audiences reached by Missouri's effort during this reporting period. Changes/Problems:One major change was the recent full retirement of Dr. K.B. Paul, Co-PI, with the Innovative Small Farmers' Outreach Program at Lincoln University Cooperative Extension. Next, Missouri AgrAbility staff do not perceive any significant changes to the upcoming year's budget from the originally submitted project budget (or sub-budget). Lastly, Missouri AgrAbility will move in the direction of providing more online programs, seminar and workshops as well as host town hall meetings virtually due to COVID-19. One "unanticipated" occurrence with several educational materials about stroke prevention, sleep hygiene, falls prevention were developed to enhance health literacy on these important farm safety topics. However, health literacy surveys did not fit into the workflow of the large rural wellness outreach/screening events. Also, each collaborator provided education and assistance directed at accommodating disability in farm operations for individuals with disabilities, and their families, who engaged in farming and farm-related occupations. In addition to statewide networking activities with key stakeholders. To reduce duplication of programmatic efforts and maximize use of USDA NIFA AgrAbility funds, collaborative partners launched "new" marketing strategies to reach diverse audiences using social media outlets and disseminated educational resources using e-publication platforms. Both, of these changes achieved an "unanticipated" surprise with an increase in Missouri AgrAbility provision of services, in-kind donations and fee-for-service agreements as well as significantly increased program awareness among our diverse audiences. Notably, Missouri AgrAbility staff produced new marketing materials; developed education and outreach e-publications; presented oral/poster presentations at local, state, regional, national, and internationals workshops/conferences; and constructed education and outreach hands-on displays. As documented, Missouri AgrAbility increased the likelihood that Missouri farmers, ranchers, farm workers and farm family members with disabilities experienced success in agricultural production. The biggest "unanticipated" event in 2020 was the rise of the global pandemic (COVID-19), and being mindful of the at-risk population that Missouri AgrAbility was created to serve both, the University of Missouri and Lincoln University field staff have worked to include additional safety measures regarding one-on-one technical assistance and on-site farm visits. Starting this year, various digital tools were implemented for the purpose of protecting at-risk clientele and our field staff. These digital tools include: Using Facetime, ZOOM, Microsoft Teams, etc. to conduct on-farm assessments. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Joint training programs increased disability service competency and client/provider education events heighten participant awareness about Missouri AgrAbility without the duplication of services. In Missouri, there is no other group that acts their behalf to provide this type of comprehensive approach to serving the needs of AgrAbility customers. The MAP partners each contributed unique trainings, workshops, seminars, and educational programs to AgrAbility customers; professionals in medical, rehabilitation, vocational, independent living, community support, agriculture, and other fields; high school, community college, university and adult learner students through statewide cooperation, collaboration and coordination. The Innovative Small Farmers' Outreach Program (ISFOP) staff at Lincoln University Cooperative Extension (LUCE) worked to increase the quality of life of Missouri farmers with disabilities. This has been achieved on the local, regional, and statewide levels through education. In collaboration with the University of Missouri Extension, ISFOP staff offered 14 educational outreach workshops and educational booths throughout the state of Missouri. As a result, program staff have connected with more than 2,000 Missouri farmers. The primary method used throughout the year was the Jesup Wagon 2.0 Outreach Method. This educational tool was designed to highlight low-cost, labor saving technologies that can be purchased by farmers to reduce the risk of secondary injuries on farm. Educational Programs - Jesup Wagon 2.0 include the: Great Plains Growers Conference, Southwest Missouri - Homestead Days, Ag Expo - Black River Coliseum, Annual Brain Injury Association Statewide Meeting, MU Southwest Center Field Day, Missouri Winter Vegetable Conference, Missouri Tomato Conference, Western Farm Show, Farm to Fork Summit, High Tunnels 101 Workshop, and Twilight Horticulture Tour at Hmong year-round learning farm. ISFOP staff also received an AgrAbility half-day orientation and training on how to implement deliverable's to be achieved. This half-day training effort was a collaboration between MU Extension, Pharm to Farm, Brain Injury Association of Mo and Lincoln University. Additionally, training was requested by ISFOP staff about new emerging technologies such SMART Farms and IoT. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Collaborative partners met at 3-month intervals to evaluate project accomplishments and progress toward stated objectives. FY 2019 Year 2, Activities were completed in a timely manner, on schedule and with no major adjustments made to the original Plan of Work. Pre- and post-surveys coupled with PhotoVoice and VoiceThread were used to document project efficacy in responding to the needs of AgrAbility customers in Missouri. Additionally, evaluation of the project quantified Activities and Outcomes. For example, pre- and post-surveys measured significant outcomes produced from AgrAbility Activities associated with achieving desired benefits and impacts resulted in an increase of 97% in knowledge changed; 96% increase in improved skills; 98% increased knowledge of decision- making and positive quality of life choices among collaborative partners, cooperative stakeholders and AgrAbility customers, rural youth and farm families. Overall, program results were disseminated to communities of interest via partnership newsletters; National AgrAbility eNote; e-based formats such as electronic publications, newsletters, newspapers; presentation/posters at professional conferences, workshops, or seminars. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Missouri's Program logically continues to match our statewide plan to undertake each of the four (4) NIFA program objectives of Assistance, Education, Networking, and Marketing. Our summarized AgrAbility activities planned for the coming year are briefly outlined below. USDA NIFA PRIORITY 1. EDUCATION Missouri AgrAbility efforts continue to align with NIFA Strategic Goal 1 (Science) of advancing Education to create a higher quality of life through farming for persons with disabilities. The Program will utilize existing materials and resources from its partners. Additionally, 290 members of the Volunteer BIA-Mo Speakers Bureau will use new educational materials on selected AgrAbility-related topics to help educate rehabilitation, social worker, medicine, or agricultural fields, Veteran service providers, rehabilitation professionals, employment specialists, emergency response and personnel staff members. Education Activities include the following: Host BIA-MO Professional Conference: AgrAbility Track - Veteran Farmers. Present/Exhibit at Health, Agriculture and Community Support Professional Conferences. Increase long-term investment strategies by providing educational activities to health, government, social service providers on accommodating disabilities and avoiding secondary injuries in AgrAbility customers with disabilities. Educate college level and adult learner agriculture students by providing relevant AgrAbility information about new and emerging assistive technologies and adapted devices that accommodate and support employment goals of AgrAbility customers. Continue to expand our AgrAbility Ergonomic Toolkit and linguistically appropriate Info Packets for Hmong, Mennonite and Women in Ag while utilizing the Jesup Wagon deliver methodology present style and format for program delivery. Continue to develop content for delivery through the eXtension Initiative. USDA NIFA OBJECTIVE 2. NETWORKING Missouri's collaborative Farm to Pharm partner at the UMKC SOP provided outreach events in rural settings through health screening events (four annually) at various venues to interface with AgrAbility customers, socially disadvantaged, women in agriculture, and Mennonite population and other potential customers at county fairs, Missouri State Fairs, and Western Farm Shows. Networking Activities include the following: Facilitate Pharm to Farm onsite medication assessments and rural wellness outreach to reduce the risk of secondary injury and chronic disease complications. Promote the AgrAbility Consumer Advisory Committee activities at the county level. Meet with the Consumer Advisory Committee at least four times per year to develop a plan of action, goals and objectives. Coordinate Quarterly coffees for professionals to increase AgrAbility referrals and utilization of AgrAbility services and programs. USDA NIFA OBJECTIVE 3. DIRECT ASSISTANCE Direct assistance in Missouri focuses on the early identification of farm and rural families that need services and on individualized consultative services. To help facilitate this activity, Missouri AgrAbility continued to secure a fee for service agreement from Mo DVR and RSB who provide an onsite farmstead Level II Rehab Consultation to eligible AgrAbility customers. In Missouri, each AgrAbility case includes: Conducting a work site assessment that identifies problem areas, Providing technical information for modifications to equipment, tools, and buildings, Recommending low cost accommodations, Assisting individuals to locate community resources and social service agencies to help solve problems, Informing consumers about programs to help facilitate personal/family adjustments, Facilitating information on alternative farm-related opportunities, Working/Advocating on behalf of customer with providers to coordinate support activities. Direct Assistance Activities include: BIA-MO Information & Referral Service will provide 30 farmers and rural residents with a "Personalized information" Packets. MU Extension will provide up to 66 AgrAbility customers and farm families with disabilities with direct assistance through customized, on-site farmstead evaluation, and technical information. Pharm to Farm will provide five AgrAbility customers will annually onsite farmstead medication assessment and AgriSafe Health Risk Assessment. USDA NIFA PRIORITY 4: Marketing Marketing activities direct potential AgrAbility customers, professionals and the public to initiatives in AgrAbility-related education, networking and assistance will be continued. Direct Marketing Activities include: Offering 6 support groups in rural communities by the BIA-MO partners with other non-profit organizations. Providing MAP information at the BIA-MO Survivor and Family Seminars that are held annually in Southwest, Western and Eastern Missouri. Featuring AgrAbility success stories in all partnerships print materials, newsletters, e-news, newsletters, social media and electronic outlets and websites. Launching "Brain Injury Fact of the Day" Media Campaign during the month of March to cultivate new farming audiences of next generation farmers, veteran farmers, and women in agriculture through use of advertising banners on agriculture; healthcare and brain injury related websites; and social media venues. Marketing strategies will be launched on 3 separate websites and social media outlets to increase Missouri AgrAbility visibility.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? USDA NIFA Core Objective Networking More presentations than ever before were provided by the BIA-MO Speakers Bureau at healthcare, agriculture, disability and education professional conferences. A highlighted presentation is the "Collaborations - Successes and Challenges" that was presented at the National Association of Head Injury Administrators Conference in Kansas City. This session featured the Missouri AgrAbility Project partners discussing roles, strengths and lessons-learned from our partnership. Most notable, this presentation educated 350 professionals who serve AgrAbility clients, Veterans, socially disadvantaged and future farmers with 100% increase in knowledge gained about brain injury and Missouri AgrAbility. Six Speakers Bureau presentations were provided to professionals who work with current or prospective AgrAbility clients, Veterans, socially disadvantaged and future farmers. 17 networking opportunities: 6 Networking Coffees for Professionals; 6 "outside of the project partnership" meetings; 3 Speakers Bureau exhibits at professional conferences; BIA-MO Conference involvement of a session presentation, exhibit, printed material and at-event signage; and BIA-MO Survivor & Family Seminar sponsorship and exhibit. Quarterly consumer leadership opportunities were provided through involvement in a ten-person Consumer Advisory Committee. Committee members advised the Mo AgrAbility management team on issues related to AgrAbility consumers, grants, and potential programs. They also participated in five workshops, made 12 presentations, visited six farmers in the hospital, facilitated multiple interviews and advocated for policy changes. Evaluation and project reports were also shared with the Consumer Advisory Committee members. USDA NIFA Core Objective Marketing The BIA-MO and MU Extension continued to expand marketing efforts of the Missouri AgrAbility Project. Specific accomplishments include the Brain Injury Fact of the Day media campaign that had increases in website banner advertisement, Facebook and Twitter impressions as well as visits to the biamo.org website. 733,318 banner ad impressions on healthcare, agriculture and business/community websites 17,248 individuals reached at FB/BIA.Missouri 16,709 impressions at T/BIA_Missouri 1,896 unduplicated visitors to www.biamo.org during March 2020 for Brain Injury Fact of the Day sponsored by the Missouri AgrAbility Project. This is double the number of website visitors of 927 during Feb 2020. The BIA-MO and MU Extension continued to expand marketing efforts of the Missouri AgrAbility Project. Specific accomplishments include the Brain Injury Fact of the Day media campaign that had increases in website banner advertisement, Facebook and Twitter impressions as well as visits to the biamo.org website. 733,318 banner ad impressions on healthcare, agriculture and business/community websites 17,248 individuals reached at FB/BIA.Missouri

Target Audience:AgrAbility customers (farmers and farm families), military veterans, socially disadvantaged, underserved (Hmong, Mennonite, and women) limited resources and beginning small farm operators with disabilities and farm families were the target audiences reached by Missouri's effort during this reporting period. Changes/Problems:To reduce duplication of programmatic efforts and maximize use of USDA NIFA AgrAbility funds, collaborative partners launched "new" marketing strategies to reach diverse audiences using social media outlets and disseminated educational resources using e-publication platforms.

Notably, Missouri AgrAbility staff produced new marketing materials; developed education and outreach e-publications; presented oral / poster presentations at local, state, regional, national, and internationals workshops / conferences; and constructed education and outreach hands-on displays. As documented, Missouri AgrAbility increased the likelihood that Missouri farmers, ranchers, farm workers and farm family members with disabilities experienced success in agricultural production. Also, older farmers, U.S. military service veterans, women in agriculture, underserved minority farm populations including racial minority farmers, and socially disadvantaged farmers presented a challenge. These farmers present multiple chronic diseases, mental and physical disabilities. Services received from several campuses, many different health care providers, funding agencies and social service agencies. This diversity in our AgrAbility customer base and service providers is characterized by both communication and funding challenges. Unfortunately, these AgrAbility customers are seldom capable of successfully navigating this fragmented health care and support network on their own. Agencies frequently lack either the agricultural or the disability background necessary to coordinate a comprehensive response to the AgrAbility customer's needs. Effective communication on behalf of and with the AgrAbility customer is always lacking, resulting in frustrating delays and misunderstandings. Program evaluations, round table discussions and focus groups have consistently shown this issue to be the top of our customers list of needed improvement. In serve delivery, AgrAbility customers frequently reported they would not be able to obtain good outcomes without AgrAbility's continued involvement. At the same time, service providers report frustration in working with AgrAbility customers whose business needs and physical lifestyle demands are so different from the participants they commonly see and serve. Therefore, Mo AgrAbility staff members MUST continually strive to bridge this gap by providing additional education and network efforts to continually build and enhance our statewide capacity within the provider / customer network. Despite challenges, the need for USDA NIFA continuation funds is justified. Moving forward the project team will continue to strengthen the capacity of each partner to work independently with AgrAbility customers, while still managing effective communications and referrals to other stakeholders. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Each collaborator provided education and assistance directed at accommodating disability in farm operations for individuals with disabilities, and their families, who engaged in farming and farm-related occupations.Education and training objectives targeted college students (Agriculture, Pharmacy, Health Sciences, and professionals working with our Customers).Content suitable for the eXtension Initiative through the Farm and Ranch eXtension Safety and Health CoP were developed. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Partners met at 3-month intervals to evaluate project accomplishments and progress toward stated objectives. FY 2018 Year 1, Activities completed in a timely manner, on schedule and with no adjustments made to the original Plan of Work. Pre- and post-surveys coupled with PhotoVoice used to document project efficacy in responding to priority needs of AgrAbility customers. Additionally, evaluation of the project quantified Activities and Outcomes. Project results illustrate measureable outcomes produced from Missouri AgrAbility Activities associated with achieving desired benefits and impacts that resulted in a change in knowledge; improved skills; policy knowledge; methods and techniques; increased knowledge of decision-making, life skills, and positive quality of life choices among collaborative partners, cooperative stakeholders and AgrAbility customers, rural youth and farm families. Results disseminated to communities of interest via partership newsletters; National AgrAbility eNote; e-based formats such as electronicpublications, newsletters, newspapers; presentation/posters at professional conferences, workshops, or seminars. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?USDA NIFA OBJECTIVE PRIORITY 1. EDUCATION Activity 1: Host BIA-MO Professional Conference: Provide new professional AgrAbility Track each year, based on Conference evaluations of need to serve AgrAbility customers.

Three round tables held. Hmong, Mennonite and Mo AgrAbility Consumer Advisory Committee as well as 5 community-based stakeholders meetings conducted to solicit input from both those who receive, and those who provide AgrAbility services. LUCE ISFOP specialists reached 20 new AgrAbility customers within the underserved farmer groups In collaboration with MUE, LUCE ISFOP staff provided 14 educational outreach workshops. Resulting in connecting with more than 1,000 Missouri farmers. Jesup Wagon outreach method, an educational teaching tool of low-cost, labor saving technologies used to demonstrate prevention of secondary injuries, proper body mechanics and farm/ranch ergonomics. 165 professionals increased their knowledgeable about MAP because they attended the "Employment and Return to Work Best Practices" panel discussion session at the 2018 BIA-MO Annual Statewide Professional Conference. Presented at the Missouri Speech-Language-Hearing Association Conference, "Brain Injury Causes, Impact and Resources" to educate 100 Speech Pathologists about AgrAbility as a resource for potential AgrAbility clients they serve.? 25 veterans, socially disadvantaged, minority, and beginning farmers and ranchers with disabilities, participated in a three-hour AgrAbility seminar. MUE shared tips about how to handle stress on the farm, depression, suicide prevention, PTSD, and coping strategies. February 1, 2019, launched MAP social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter & Instagram (MOAgrAbility)) and experienced an impressive growth rate. For example, during May, AgrAbility launched Mental Health awareness resulting in an impressive MO AgrAbility post count that significantly elevated to over 5,625 on Facebook, over 10.3K impressions on Twitter and 1,065 impressions on Instagram.? 3 BIA-MO Survivor & Family Seminars held in St. Louis (October 6, 2018), Springfield (March 23, 2019) and Western Missouri (April 13, 2019). Included AgrAbility marketing activities of exhibit information, signage recognition, event program listing, and program announcements. These BIA-MO Survivor & Family Seminars reached 350 potential AgrAbility clients of survivors of brain injury, family members and professionals who participated in this marketing event. Six Networking Coffees for Professionals hosted in the Springfield and St. Louis area, AgrAbility marketing efforts reached 60 healthcare, rehabilitation, vocational, and community support professionals. Professionals learned about Missouri AgrAbility as a resource for their clients. Outreach with these Networking Coffees for Professionals also included email messages sent to 750 professionals with Missouri AgrAbility logo for marketing and recognition. Formed Missouri AgrAbility Advisory Committee consisting of 10 current and former AgrAbility customers and farm families. Advisory Committee members provided leadership to Management team with regard to Plan of Work and facilitated hospital visits; provided telephone calls to AgrAbility customers and farm families; assisted and made presentations at events/activities at FarmHer in Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma; national Veteran conference in Kansas City; Missouri State Fair, county fairs, Western Farm show; and National AgrAbility Training Workshop. 350 MU Extension youth and families' state and regional faculty received training with 97% increased professional competencies in the delivery or referral of services to Missouri AgrAbility Customers and farm families. 5 MU Extension human environmental sciences specialists received Mental Health First Aid training to assist AgrAbility customers, youth, veterans, and farm families. 6 hands-on interactive displays (Jesup Wagon, Ergonomic Women/Men Glove Protection, Tool Talk for Women, Hearing/Respirator and Safe Grain Handling) designed.

Post- survey results indicated 100% increase in knowledge. Developed new Missouri AgrAbility marketing materials as well as all collaborative partners updated their websites to reflect AgrAbility project and jointly launched a social media campaigns. Estimated, roughly 752,086 agricultural families increased their awareness of AgrAbility services via statewide networking activities, awareness programs, in-services workshops, media releases, social media outlets and exhibits at major events. Content suitable for the eXtension Initiative through the Farm and Ranch eXtension Safety and Health CoP were developed. Missouri is most proud of our documented evidence of financial impact from two of our stakeholders, Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) and Rehab Services for Blind (RSB). For example, Fiscal Year 2018 figures provided by VR demonstrate successful closure of 45 AgrAbility Agriculture related cases with a success rate of 100%. Most notably, VR indicated those 45 AgrAbility Agriculture related cases also received a total cost of assistive technologies valued at $459,569.07. Resulting in Onsite Farmstead Consultations facilitated by AgrAbility staff members divided by 45 AgrAbility cases = $10,212.65 on average per AgrAbility case. Additionally, RSB boost the same successfully closure rate for AgrAbility Agriculture related class. For example, 5 AgrAbility Agriculture related cases with the help of MAP staff had at a successful closure rate of 100%. Specifically, RSB AgrAbility Agriculture related cases received assistive technologies totaling a value of $120,179.98. As noted, Mo AgrAbility increased the likelihood farmers, ranchers, farm workers and farm family members with disabilities
