Our popular poster with Yoga Stretches For Farmers is evolving into new resources specific to fishermen and forest workers. Maine AgrAbility\u2019s partner OT, Brie Weisman, has been busy talking to fishermen about this tool and asking them to practice and model the stretches. Keep your eyes peeled for our newest posters being developed this winter!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Toolbox Spotlight<\/h3>\n<p>For those who have difficulty climbing vertical combine ladders, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.agrability.org\/toolbox\/?solution=1567\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Combine Cab-Access Stairs<\/a> are a relatively inexpensive alternative vs. a powered lift. Bolted to the machine&#8217;s deck plate, the slope of the stair is at a 45-degree angle behind the drive tire to facilitate ascending\/descending. With handrails on each side, it usually has seven steps, the bottom two or three being retractable for proper ground clearance.
