Virginia

In February, AgrAbility Virginia had the great opportunity to have one of its clients featured on the local Fox News Agriculture Programs. Billy is almost 80 and is dealing with post-polio. He grows, mows, sells hay, and boards horses. He could not get up into his John Deere tractor. Staff didn't think it was going to be possible. But with the expertise of a rehab engineer, Dave Law, with the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (VR), well-positioned steps and handles, a lot of personal will, and emotional support from his wife, Pat, Billy was able to get back into his tractor and move his round bales around for winter storage!
