Serving those who served
Farmers Veteran Coalition is helping more than 20,000 veterans find success on the farm.

The Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) has been working since 2007 to mobilize America’s military veterans into a second career as farmers and food leaders. The goal is to capitalize on the unique skills and experience of veterans to strengthen the farming and food industry and to replace America’s aging farmers.

Introducing Kathy Daily
1. Role at FFB: Managing Director of the Farm and Ranch Division

2. Family: I’ve been married to my husband, Red, for 40 years. We have two sons; Blake, who is married to Bethany, and they have a daughter, Norah, who is 7; my youngest son, Chris is married to Becky, and they have two sons, Hank who is 5, and Hudson who is 16 months old.   

3. Education: Lindsey Wilson College, Columbia, Kentucky, but mostly school of hard knocks

4. Hobbies: spending time with my family, or girl trips with my friend Kim

5. What is your favorite thing about working at FFB? Getting to visit with our customers and seeing their operations first hand. I love riding in the planter in the spring, or the combine in the fall. I have seen a lot of different crops and operations in my career in agricultural lending, and I have learned that farm people are good everywhere you go. I have sat with our customers at their kitchen table and heard their family’s story back two or three generations. I then have the honor of helping them develop financial plans for the next generation. 

6. Do you have an unknown talent? Handing my grandchildren back to their parents after I give them too much sugar. 

7. Favorite place you have visited? Italy

8. What is one thing you would like to learn more about? I have never been a crafty person, but I would like to learn to knit someday.

9. Words you live by or funny story about you: You can accomplish anything with hard work, perseverance, and a great team.
