Farmers - Working Through Life's Challenges

Cattle farmer George Green hadn’t anticipated needing a 15-inch steel rod in his back when he set out to work on his feed grinder one morning, but one accident later, he found himself in the hospital with just that.

Left with arthritis and decreased mobility, his prospects for continuing his cattle operation weren’t good.

No one expects his life to change overnight, but injury, illness and the effects of aging aren’t something that are in our control. Small farmers in general are a passionate lot who take their on-farm duties seriously.

Whether or not the farm is a means of income or simply for enjoyment, experiencing a life-altering event that threatens the work you do there could be devastating. Recognizing an aging farming population and the risk of the work they do, there are organizations dedicated to assisting farmers who aren’t able to carry on at the farm on the level they once were.

The AgrAbility Project is a nonprofit partnership that offers free education and assistance to people with disabilities who are involved in agriculture.
