In this episode of Leaders in the Field, host Mackenzie Bevins interviews Doug Boswell, a farmer from Springfield, Missouri, who shares his journey of resilience after a spinal cord injury from an ATV accident in 2017. Doug discusses the physical and mental challenges he’s faced, his rehabilitation journey, and how the Missouri AgrAbility Project and adaptive equipment have enabled him to continue farming. He highlights the importance of healthcare professionals understanding the unique needs of farmers with disabilities and offers valuable advice for practitioners working with the agricultural population. He also shares the exciting progress he’s made toward walking again using an exoskeleton. See below for an inside look at Doug's exoskeleton and adaptive farming equipment.
