There are approximately 50,000 disabled farmers and ranchers in Texas. Their disabilities are the result of dangerous work that they face daily, or the result of poor health or accidents not related to work. Each year, a disabling injury related to work in agriculture occurs on one in every 117 farms. Physical disabilities not related to agriculture increase the rate to one disabling injury for every 24 Texas farms. Disabled farmers and ranchers are challenged by their impairments and by the fact that they live in a large state with scattered resources. The Texas AgrAbility Project meets those challenges by helping determined individuals overcome physical barriers and continue their chosen professions in agriculture.
