At FutureAg, we’re all about pushing boundaries, sparking innovation, and ensuring the future of Australian farming is bright and bold. But what makes a brighter future? People. All people. That’s why partnering with Ability Agriculture has been one of the most rewarding parts of our journey. Because they’re not just changing lives — they’re changing the face of agriculture, one barrier at a time.

Ability Ag believes that farming should be a place where everyone belongs, regardless of ability. And this year, they’ve been out there, boots on the ground, making it happen. From launching their Youth Sponsorship Program to hosting heartwarming Graze to Raise events, they’re showing rural Australia what inclusivity looks like. And spoiler alert: it looks pretty damn good.

Picture this: farmers, neighbours, and friends gathered around for a morning tea, sharing stories and starting conversations that matter. It sounds simple, but these moments — these cups of tea and chats — are where change begins. They’re the seeds of a more inclusive, welcoming industry, where no one feels left out of the farming community.

And then there are the stories. Jack, who didn’t let his wheelchair stop him from running his family’s farm. Ella, who got to attend her first ag conference through Ability Ag’s support and walked away knowing she belongs in the world of farming. These aren’t just feel-good tales — they’re proof that when you break down barriers, people can surprise you, inspire you, and reshape the future.

Ability Ag isn’t about talking inclusion — they’re about living it. Through their Ability AgriCheck program, they’re helping agribusinesses become more accessible, giving them the tools to do better and be better. It’s a game-changer, and it’s happening right now.

At FutureAg, we’re proud to stand alongside Ability Ag. Because the future of farming isn’t just about cutting-edge tech or big ideas — it’s about people. It’s about making sure that every person, no matter their ability, can get their hands dirty, chase their passion, and be part of the incredible world of agriculture.

So here’s to Ability Ag — for reminding us that when we open our gates a little wider, we don’t just grow better crops; we grow better communities. The future is inclusive, and together, we’re making sure it’s one worth celebrating.
