Learn how to stay safe on the farm at AgrAbility workshop Feb. 13 in Fort Morgan

    As workers age, they are faced with increasing rates of arthritis, back pain, decreased strength/endurance, hearing impairments and other medical conditions. These conditions increase the likelihood of slips and falls, being pushed by fast-moving livestock, accidents with machinery and other dangers.
    Assistive technology can help mitigate the impact of aging conditions and help older farmers work with more safety. The cost of assistive technology and safety is significantly less than the expense of injury on the farm.
    Join fellow Colorado farmers, ranchers, veterans, their families and service providers at this year’s AgrAbility event in northeast Colorado on Tuesday, Feb 13, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Morgan County Extension Office, 914 E. Railroad Ave. in Fort Morgan.
