The AgrAbility Project assists people involved in production agriculture who operate and/or work on small and large agricultural operations.
The Missouri AgrAbility Project does not provide direct funding or equipment. However, the project works with the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Rehab Services for the Blind, and other third party funding sources to help customers potentially obtain needed assistive technologies, adapted devices or modifications.
