The Breakdown with INFB
For more than 100 years, Indiana Farm Bureau has protected and enhanced the future of agriculture and our communities. To continue that legacy and communicate more with our members, we’ve created The Breakdown with INFB, a podcast that will feature prominent leaders in the ag industry, newsmakers and even some average folks with interesting stories to tell.

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month and according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, about 19% of U.S. farmers and 9% of U.S. farmworkers had a disability at some point between 2008 and 2016.
INFB had a conversation with Paul Jones, an education and resource specialist working on the AgrAbility project at Purdue University, to learn more about the resources available to help farmers with disabilities.
