Quick Links
When farm families and workers become ill or injured, man hours that are crucial to the operation of the farm are lost. This is when Farm Again can help. We provide information and services that may make it possible to return to farming.
​
Farm Again is a free service and focuses on promoting independence for members of the agricultural community who have injuries, disabilities, or chronic health conditions. The project is funded by grants, foundations, donations, and sponsors.
​
The program in Georgia is managed by the University of Georgia's Cooperative Extension Service in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the Institute on Human Development and Disability in the College of Family and Consumer Sciences.​
