The Back to Ag Program has already provided funding for eleven projects to help injured farmers continue farming.
Applications are now being accepted for the third round of funding through that program.
It supports the cost of adaptive technology for Canadian farmers who have experienced a traumatic injury.
That includes things like a sit to stand wheelchair, modifications to stairs and livestock handling facilities and lifts.
Applicants must be Canadian residents 18 years of age or older.
They must have experienced a traumatic injury, be able to show their need and be able to demonstrate how the adaptive technology involved will help them return to work on the farm.
The Back to Ag Program is a partnership of the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association, Farm Credit Canada and the Rick Hansen Foundation.
More information – including application details – are on the CASA website – casa-acsa.ca.
Deadline for applications is December 21st.
