Mini-Workshops 

We know that sitting in front of a Zoom screen for days in a row is hard on your body.  We have 3 wonderful leaders ready to push us out of our comfort level and get us to stretch.  All of these stretches are great not only for those of us at our computers, but also good for farmers sitting in their tractors or combines.  These are not just for watching, but for doing!

Her passion as an agriculture producer and nurse provider enables her to act as a liaison between research and practice and therefore drives her work to address the everchanging needs of this population.   Linda and AgriSafe have created guides on both farm yoga and farm pilates that can be accessed on the AgriSafe website.

 

Thursday:

Emily Freudenburg is the Lead Rural Rehabilitation Specialist for Nebraska AgrAbility. She has been with the program since 2015.  Emily’s background in Occupational Therapy helps her to understand client disabilities and limitations.  This helps her to recommend assistive technology that is appropriate for the farmer/rancher.  Emily enjoys attending farm/ranch expos to find new technologies.  Emily is also the social media guru for the program. In her free time you will find her playing with her dog, Milo, or helping with the cattle on her family farm.  Emily will be demonstrating stretches from Farmer Daily Stretching Program Brochure which she developed.
