It is in the very early stages, but the Center for Rural Affairs (CFRA) received a grant to work with Farmer Veterans. They have reached out to Nebraska AgrAbility to help educate these farmers on safe work practices and technologies that are available to them.
Another client was referred to AgrAbility through Nebraska VR. This client's disabilities make it difficult for him to climb in and out of equipment. Staff recommended agricultural lifts for his tractor and combine to aid in accessing these pieces of equipment. The report is back in VR's hands, and the client and AgrAbility are hoping they can financially assist him with this.
