37 High Tech
From tractor seats with better suspension to wearable sensors that track posture and fatigue, high-tech solutions are becoming more accessible and practical. Even something as simple as a smartphone app to monitor weather or schedule breaks can make a difference in how you work and how you feel. The key is not just having the tools—it’s using them in ways that support your health and longevity on the land. Technology isn’t just for big operations—it’s for anyone who wants to work smarter and safer.
For more ideas on adaptable equipment, visit the National AgrAbility website—they offer great examples of tools and modifications that can reduce strain and keep you working safely. The assistive technology database is a great resource that farmers and ranchers can use to find tools tailored to their daily occupations.
This is a printable PDF handout that displays just some of the high-tech options of adaptive equipment.
