In the United States, farmers and ranchers rank second among laborers with disabilities due to work-related injuries. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), over 200,000 farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers sustain occupational injuries each year that limit their ability to perform essential tasks.

Join us to discover how these individuals overcome challenges and continue to succeed in their agricultural careers!
