Established in 1990, the ADA\u00a0prohibits discrimination based on disability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhysical accessibility, transportation, signage, guidelines for service animals \u2014 these are just some of the factors for agribusiness owners to consider in making sure they are following standards set forth by the ADA,\u201d Schweichler said. \u201cFarmers and agritourism operators who invite the public onto their property may not realize the full scope of their obligations under the ADA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shweichler will review these obligations and what agribusiness operators need to know in a May 21 webinar from the <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalaglawcenter.org\/\">National Agricultural Law Center<\/a>, or NALC. The webinar, \u201cNavigating ADA Compliance for Agritourism Guests,\u201d will begin at 11 a.m. Central\/Noon Eastern and is free of charge to attend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgritourism is a unique part of the agricultural sector, and one that is growing tremendously,\u201d said NALC Director Harrison Pittman. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to hearing Jackie update attendees on some of the key obligations that come with running these types of businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pittman emphasized that the Penn State Center for Agricultural and Shale Law is a longtime partner of the NALC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NALC was established by Congress to serve as the nation\u2019s leading source of agricultural and food law research and information,\u201d he said. \u201cOur partnership with the team at Penn State is an important and ongoing part of how we help fulfill that mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Registration is available at no cost online at <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalaglawcenter.org\/webinars\/ada-for-agritourism\/\">nationalaglawcenter.org\/webinars\/ada-for-agritourism<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For additional resources on agritourism, visit the NALC\u2019s Agritourism Reading Room at <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalaglawcenter.org\/research-by-topic\/agritourism-2\/\">nationalaglawcenter.org\/research-by-topic\/agritourism-2<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalaglawcenter.org\/connectwithus\/\">online<\/a> to receive NALC Communications, including webinar announcements, the NALC\u2019s Quarterly Newsletter, and <a href=\"http:\/\/lp.constantcontactpages.com\/su\/PDswXKO\/TheFeedSignUp\">The Feed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Drew ViguetNational Agricultural Law CenterU of A System Division of Agriculture May 12, 2025 Fast facts: NALC webinar highlights Americans with Disabilities Act Penn State\u2019s Jackie Schweichler will present Registration is online FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. \u2014 There are a lot of factors for agritourism operators to consider when operating hayrides, pumpkin patches, campsites, orchards and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12026],"tags":[7622,13743,14640,14102,31977,15732,6021,12685,23362,5306,26968,16519,13748],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-239294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-agriculture","tag-act","tag-agricultural","tag-americans","tag-center","tag-disabilities","tag-explore","tag-farm","tag-law","tag-nalc","tag-national","tag-operators","tag-requirements","tag-webinar"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
