Producers with Military Service |
|
370,019, is the number of men and women agriculture producers claiming the title of US veteran per the 2017 USDA report. Many Veteran Farmers find working in agriculture to be therapeutic and a means to achieve high-resiliency. When you combine military exposures with farm hazards and the financial mental strain of farming, what are the health disparities, the challenges, the barriers? Together, we aim to discover creative solutions that protect the veteran from illness and injury while caring for the land and their livestock. Veterans are dedicated to the service of others, and AgriSafe is dedicated to honoring their hard work and integration into agriculture. Check out AgriSafe's Veteran Farmer Resource Page to learn how veterans can farm strong while farming well.
