Ohio AgrAbility works with Ohio farmers who have disabilities to help keep them farming safely and productively.
Ohio AgrAbility helps farmers do their jobs! They help with things like getting on and off tractors, taking care of animals, picking crops, and anything else a farmer needs to do.
Sometimes people have a hard time doing things that other people can do easily. This is called a disability. It could make it hard to see, hear, walk, think, or learn. Some people are born with a disability, while others get one later. Some disabilities go away after a while, but others are permanent.
People with disabilities can do lots of the same things you can! Sometimes they use special tools to help them. These can be simple things like ramps or special handles, or cool gadgets like talking computers or special chairs that help them move around.
Ohio AgrAbility helps people who find gardening hard because their bodies hurt or they can't move around easily. They teach special ways to garden, like using special tools or changing the garden to make it easier.
