Pennsylvania

Milder weather in the Mid-Atlantic region continued into the months of November and December - allowing AgrAbility PA to continue with its scheduled farm assessments. Abbie Spackman, project assistant, visited a farmer who recently received a Life Essentials AG platform lift that will enable him to access his combine. This lift was obtained with financial assistance provided by the state's Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR). AgrAbility PA continues to have a great working relationship with OVR and the project is grateful for their support. Watch the video of Abbie trying out the lift here.

AgrAbility PA has added new, educational articles written specifically for farmers and agricultural workers with a disability or long-term health condition who are working in production agriculture. More articles are planned for the year ahead as the staff focuses on broadening the topics and available formats, including videos. For more information, click here.
