Long-Term Health Conditions and Impact on Farmers' Participation in Work

Researchers in the Department of Occupational Therapy at the University of Manitoba are calling on all male and female farmers in Manitoba who are age 55+ to participate in a health survey on chronic health conditions, and the impact on work. Farmers are also invited to take part in one-on-one interviews about their health conditions and managing work on the farm.
