Hillsborough County's "Ag-Abilities" program reaches dozens of special needs students who are unable to compete in traditional FFA and agriculture events because of their disabilities. Students take part in competitions such as agriculture tool identification, plant identification and food identification. They also drive a tractor through an obstacle course during the event.
About 40 volunteers help make Ag-Abilities possible each year. Participating organizations include Hillsborough County Farm Bureau, Hillsborough County Parks Department, the Hillsborough County Extension Office and the Hillsborough County School Board.
