shared by Roger Holt on 15 Feb 10 - Cached
  • Farming is not only a way of living, but it is many peoples' passion. When individuals who have had an amputation wish to return to work on the farm, there are a variety of adaptations that can be made to assist in their return to work. It is important to return famers to their desired functional level so they can reach their goals of independence. It is also imperative to consider their safety and to protect them from getting injured. Use of electronics and technology, such as centralized controls, hydraulics, monitoring systems, and computerization, on modern farms is making it easier to apply assistive technology to help those that have been faced with an amputation.[1]

  • When David Blum got caught in a cement silo drill and had to have his lower leg amputated, his doctor told him he would never work his farm again. Blum looked at his farm — his alfalfa, his corn, his soybeans and his cows — and had some choice words for the doctor. “Don’t let anybody tell you the word no,” he said. Today, Blum is one of many farmers who works every day with a prosthetic device, but it hasn’t been easy.

  • HAMILTON — Ravalli County has the third-highest population of hired farm workers of any county in Montana, right behind Lake and Gallatin counties, according to the last census taken by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2007.At that time, there were 867 hired farm workers in the county, and at least 38 of those were migrant workers.According to Claudia Stephens, the strategic-planning specialist at the Montana Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker Council, those numbers have held steady and Ravalli County still has one of the highest percentages of agricultural workers in the state.In order to provide seasonal and permanent farm workers with access to affordable and preventative health care, her agency has opened a new year-round clinic just north of Lolo.

shared by Roger Holt on 14 Aug 13 - No Cached
  • Parents are bombarded with stories about autism research. Headlines and somber-voiced announcers declare that new research has found that autism is linked to a smorgasbord of things: mom's age, dad's age, grandfather's age, living near freeways, living near farms, prenatal stress, premature birth, fertility treatments, obese mothers, flu during pregnancy, having babies too closely together, and so on. How do we make sense of this?
