[Ag-eq] Getting more blind people interested

[Tracy Carcione]

The radio program I just heard made me think about something Zack was
talking about last week-getting more blind people interested in agriculture.

My question has always been, how can a blind person run a farm without a
driver?  I bet lots of people wonder that.

But, a blind person could run something at the edge of town, which I believe
is what Nella does.  It would be hard work, of course, but you wouldn't be
trying to convince some skeptical boss that you could do the job. Or doing
the bureaucratic dance with the state that so many vendors seem to have to
do.

I was thinking about how we could get the word out that it's possible.  How
about a Monitor article as one way?  "Blind Farmers, Living the Life They
Want"?  Nella, Zack, Jewel, and anyone else working in agriculture could
write a bit about what they do and how they get around any challenges caused
by blindness.  I'd be willing to edit.

What do people think?
