Acknowledgements

We first thank the agricultural producers who have shared with us over the past 25 years their unique assistive technology solutions. In addition, we acknowledge the many producers and commercial manufacturers who have sent photos, drawings, videos, and descriptions of entries for The Toolbox.

External financial support for the planning, layout, and production of both the printed and electronic versions of The Toolbox during the past 17 years has been greatly appreciated. Production and distribution of the most edition, as well as the initial development of this Web site, was underwritten by NEC Foundation of America. Established in 1991, NEC Foundation of America was endowed at $10 million by NEC Corporation and its United States subsidiaries. Income generated by the endowment is donated to nonprofit organizations in the United States in support of programs with national reach and impact in the arena of assistive technology for people with disabilities. Through its grants, NEC Foundation of America underscores its philosophy of advancing society through technology and enabling individuals to realize their full potential.

Past financial support for The Toolbox has also included major grants and gifts from:

•Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, under Agreement No. 91-EDFA-1-0001 and Agreement No. 96-EDFA-1-0033
