The farm can be a dangerous place. Agriculture is actually considered one of the most hazardous industries in America. Every year over one hundred thousand workers are injured on the job site. And the consequences can be disasterous, not only for the worker, but for families and communties. Often times, those that become disabled live in isolated areas, where farming is their only way to make a living. But there is help for those who are battling a disability through a program called agrability. The program works with farmers who, for whatever reason, need a little help to continue their chosen lifestyle.
