Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We anticipate 75-125 people to attend the three sessions conducted by Doug Ohman. We will work with Mr. Ohman to track the number of attendees at each session., , The AG Inspire units are located in high-traffic areas. The fair will work with the vendor to provide usage data for each exhibit and will request assistance from the FFA staff to track the number of users of the Ag Cab Lab (tractor simulator). Given the fair's annual attendance of approximately 25,000 it is anticipated that a minimum of 500 persons in total will actively engage with the units.
