This newsletter publication by the California AgrAbility Program, focuses on assistive or adaptive technology (AT). AT reduces the need to rely on others to perform essential tasks to keep the farm operational. Adaptive controls can be used on various farm machines, including tractors, balers, combines, and trucks, to accommodate injuries and disabilities. Properly selected AT, as well as changes to work environment, will make it easier to perform farm tasks safely.
