From Military Service to Farm Ownership, Understanding the Benefits You’ve Earned

For many military veterans, agriculture represents more than a career change. It offers the opportunity to continue serving our country in a different way by producing food, caring for the land, strengthening rural communities, and building a business that can be passed down to future generations.

The Next Generation of Veterans Will Bring New Experiences and We Should Be Ready
