Agency: National AgrAbility Project

AgrAbility is a program sponsored by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) that provides assistance to farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural workers, and farm family members impacted by disability.  It consists of a National Project and State / Regional Projects (currently serving 24 states), each involving collaborative partnerships between land grant universities and various nonprofit disability services organizations.  The National Project is led by the Breaking New Ground Resource Center at Purdue University in partnership with Goodwill of the Finger Lakes, the Arthritis Foundation, and the University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign. Support, funding, and oversight for AgrAbility come from the UDSA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA).
