Though parts of the country are sweltering, many harvests are already in full gear across the country. Hopefully all our Farmer Veterans reap more than they have sown and have a break-even or profitable year. After you have provided for your families, and sold your products, please remember those in your local communities that are suffering this year with food insecurity.

Farmers can educate themselves on their options and continue the resiliency for which they are known, even with the uncertainties surrounding us all.

Better record keeping, documentation, and help from FVC is needed for farmers and ranchers as they navigate USDA assistance programs.

Natural disasters can create life-threatening situations for many of us who live in rural areas because our communities are vulnerable due to limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, and capacity constraints such as equipment shortages. These limitations can make it challenging to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters. Preparation is always key to staying safe during any emergency.
