Wendell A. Rohrer was a 63-year-old farmer in Nebraska when he was introduced to Nebraska AgrAbility. Wendell farms corn, alfalfa, soybeans, and prairie hay, and runs cow/calf pairs.

Wendell was diagnosed with transverse myelitis. This affects his spinal cord and his nerves. Because of this, Wendell's mobility is very limited and he cannot complete some essential tasks on the farm. When walking for long periods, his knees lock up and he can no longer move his legs easily. This decreases his efficiency and makes it almost impossible to complete essential and necessary tasks on the farm. It also limits his mobility and the ability to climb onto equipment.
