The Colorado AgrAbility Project promotes success in agriculture for people with disabilities or other physical challenges and their families. Colorado AgrAbility is part of a nationwide network of United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs begun through the 1990 Farm Bill. The goal of the National AgrAbility Project is to inform, educate, and assist farmers, ranchers, farm workers, and their families with disabilities, so they can continue to have successful careers in agriculture.

Farming and ranching are physically demanding and hazardous professions. Colorado AgrAbility and modern technology can help men and women with disabilities continue to do what they love--farm and ranch. AgrAbility can help by:

1. Assessing agricultural work sites and tasks.
2. Recommending farm equipment adaptation, home modifications, and adaptive equipment.
3. Referring families to local service providers.
4. Providing informational and educational winter workshops from CSU Cooperative Extension for farmers, ranchers and family members with disabilities and the professionals who work with them.
