AgrAbility

Grateful Farmer Initiative

VNA / Easterseals Nebraska is an alliance dedicated to enhancing the health and lives of those we serve. Easterseals Nebraska provides exceptional services to help ensure all people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to live, learn, work and play.

Easterseals Nebraska’s AgrAbility program supports farmers and ranchers impacted by health conditions or disabilities by recommending devices and techniques that promote continued work in agriculture. This includes modifying farm and ranch tasks, adapting equipment, increasing farmstead accessibility, providing financial guidance, identifying funding sources and coordinating community services.

Grateful Farmer Initiative

Since 1995, Nebraska AgrAbility has helped individuals with disabilities overcome barriers to continue in their chosen agricultural profession they love. Help us support our future by considering a donation that helps other farmers and ranchers obtain assistive technology. There are increasing gaps in available funds (including federal grant availability) and your generosity helps AgrAbility change lives, and ensures our mission and our impact on the agricultural community continues.

Other ways to support the Grateful Farmer Initiative include donating used assistive technology, donating grain or livestock, or including Nebraska AgrAbility in your estate planning.
