This
initial contact eventually led to the establishment of the Breaking
New Ground (BNG) Resource Center, which has become internationally
recognized as the primary source of information on rehabilitation technology
relating to agricultural worksites. As a means to serve rural Indiana
residents impacted by disability, the Resource Center established the
Breaking New Ground Outreach
Program. The program operates as a part of Purdue's
Cooperative Extension Service and has become a model of services
for this traditionally underserved population. In 1990, the Outreach
Program became part of the USDA
Agrability Program that supports similar projects in approximately
20 other states.
