AMS is committed to making its website and information accessible to everyone.

Our site contains HTML documents, plain text files, PDFs that require a PDF reader (available for free on most computers and digital devices), Microsoft Word files and other file types like PowerPoint or Excel spreadsheets.

We are working in accordance with the Section 508 standards for electronic and information technology as outlined by the USDA Accessibility Statement and U.S. Access Board.

We would be glad to help. While we strive to make all information posted to the AMS website accessible to everyone, there may be exceptions for older material.
