Disabled farmers, ranchers and family members who have disabilities are eligible for funding from The Oklahoma AgrAbility Project.
“Agriculture is an important industry in Oklahoma,” said Randy Taylor, co-director of the Oklahoma AgrAbility Project. “The Oklahoma AgrAbility Project strives to keep farmers with disabilities on the job and a productive piece of this important industry. Though Oklahoma AgrAbility cannot directly purchase assistive technology, it is designed to help determine a course of action and link clients with appropriate funding sources.”
Any farmer or producer who is disabled is eligible. AgrAbility staff members are available to visit farms to make an assessment for anyone who is uncertain if they qualify or not.
The money can is to be used for assistive technology including motorized lifts, mobility aids and modifications to farm tools and buildings.
Each case is looked at individually. Those who do not qualify may qualify for the Oklahoma Assistive Technology Foundation. For more information call the Oklahoma AgrAbility (888) 885-5588 or visit their website.
