All proceeds will be used to provide technology and service for farmers with disabilities.
AgrAbility aims to serve farmers with all types of disabilities to ensure they secure, maintain and sustain meaningful work in agriculture by offering worksite and home-based visits to provide assistive technology recommendations. Those affiliated with the project also provide assistive technology recommendations, worksite and farm-task modifications, and they identify resources and services that can aid their independence.
