Do you know someone in agriculture that is impacted by injury, illness, disability, or arthritis? AgrAbility of Utah is a program that helps farmers, ranchers, and family members remain in agriculture despite adverse health conditions.

AgrAbility specialists visit with impacted farmers, ranchers, and family members, conduct an agricultural work-site analysis, and evaluate each situation. Practical solutions that address the specific barriers faced by the agriculturalist or family member are identified. Solutions may include assistive technology recommendations (tools and devices that mitigate the limitations faced), equipment modifications, or task restructuring. Examples include, livestock handling equipment, lifts to provide access to equipment, and farm mobility devices.

All AgrAbility services are free and confidential. AgrAbility of Utah is funded through USDA, and is a partnership between Utah State University Extension and Roads To Independence. Utah is just one of 21 states that have the AgrAbility program. If you or someone you know works in agriculture and has a disability, please call or email program coordinator, Randall Bagley at 435-797-0350 or [email protected].
