   AgrAbility

The National AgrAbility Project is a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) funded program established to help people with disabilities remain active in agriculture. See National AgrAbility Project for more information. Farming is one of the nation's most dangerous professions because it includes a combination of difficult working conditions, hazardous equipment, and animals that can become out-of-control. If an accident or a chronic health condition has made it difficult for you to do your daily chores, West Virginia AgrAbility can help you and your family members in many ways.  For information on ergonomic gardening equipment, please visit: www.radiusgarden.com.
