QUINCY, Ohio (RFD-TV News) — Ohio Ag Net shares the story of a farmer who returned to work after a life-changing accident left him paralyzed during his senior year of high school.
Logan Heath initially had limited ability to work around the farm before connecting with Ohio AgrAbility, a USDA-funded program that helps farmers with injuries, illnesses or disabilities continue working.
With help from the program, Heath now uses a lift system to access tractors and other machinery and a tracked power wheelchair to navigate rough terrain around the farm.
The adaptive equipment has allowed Heath to return to work on his family’s more than 2,000 acres of corn, soybeans, wheat and hay.
