This position is reflected by:

• one of the highest disabling injury rates of any industry;

• 1 out of 9 Indiana farm families who experience a farm-related injury each year; and

• 19% of active farm operators who are no longer able to perform essential tasks due to a disability.

In addition, farm and rural families experience the same types of non-work related injuries and disabling conditions as the rest of the population.
