AgrAbility — You can't keep a good farmer down................................ 10
For the 3 million Americans who work to feed the rest of us, farming is more than a job, it's a way of life. It's also a dangerous job. After an injury, AgrAbility Unlimited, a joint program of the Illinois Cooperative Extension Service and the Illinois Easter Seals Society, helps farmers get back to work and a life of independence.
