Do you know a farmer with a physical, cognitive, or illness-related disability that needs help? University of Wisconsin Extension and Easter Seals Wisconsin sponsor the AgrAbility program that provides free services. For example, they will conduct “on-site assessments to identify barriers to completing tasks both in the agricultural workplace and the home”. Also, they will recommend appropriate “assistive technologies (equipments/tools/devices), modified work practices, and/or other possible solutions to overcoming disability-related limitations.”

Agri-View recently featured an AgrAbility client. The program has a 98% success rate over the past 23 years.

They are currently in the process of re-designing their website but in the meantime, check out their Facebook page. A Facebook account is not required to access most of the content.
