AgrAbility turns 20!
Although wheelchairs can get people around a farm,
they do not always navigate land well. Oftentimes,
mud and manure can clog up the mechanical parts
of an electric powered wheelchair. Mud covering tires
and spokes can make it impossible to maneuver a
wheelchair.
AgrAbility offers free farm assessments to any
farmer, or a family member, who has difculty doing
farm work or getting around their farm because of an
injury or chronic health condition.
The purpose of the farm assessment is to allow
AgrAbility staff to observe the farmer, the techniques
the farmer uses to complete farm tasks, what the
farmer does to compensate for any difculties he/she
has and to get a good understanding of the farmer's
working conditions. Farm assessments are used
to help AgrAbility staff make recommendations for
equipment modications, equipment purchases or
changes to operation layout.
If you are interested in a farm assessment, call
Inetta Fluharty at 304 -771- 8747.
