One
particularly useful aspect of the National AgrAbility site is their Searchable Database of
suppliers of practical tools and technologies, organized by category. This
is a highly recommended place to look for that particular thing that
would make your work in agriculture that much easier, or to get an idea of
the kinds of resources that are available if you are unaware of them.
At the same website, there is another helpful section on Assistive Technology that contains several Resource Sheets -- quick and easy guides that might save you a lot of trouble and make life a whole lot easier! See, for example, the Resource Sheet for March, entitled "Slips and Falls". This article has a whole bunch of tips and products to help prevent one of the most common accidents. Well worth reading!
