of Wisconsin Impact Evaluation Since
1991 AgrAbility of Wisconsin staff has been helping Wisconsin farmers
with disabilities succeed in farming. During that time more than 1,200
farmers have received information and worksite assessment plans and
nearly all the plans have been implemented. In 2003, the National
AgrAbility Project conducted an impact survey of farmers who were
clients in state projects. Two hundred AgrAbility of Wisconsin clients
were sent an evaluation and 116 clients completed the evaluation to
measure the impact of the AgrAbility program. The impact evaluation
addressed the tasks performed before and after acquiring a disability,
the quality of the assistance, and the impact of the assistance on the
farm’s productivity and financial return. The evaluation compares
the AgrAbility of Wisconsin clients to the responses of seven other
state projects. Below is a link to the Impact Evaluation. AgrAbility
