FARMER VETERAN COALITION
The catalyst behind the formation of the Farmer-Veteran Coalition has been the observation of two merging powerful forces over recent years: first, an aging farming community in critical need of young farmers; and second, the high unemployment rates and lack of viable career opportunities among American veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, particularly those returning home in greatly disproportionate numbers to our small towns and rural communities. It is at this intersection of socio-economic needs that FVC is uniquely qualified to help. America's agricultural community needs our veterans as much as they need us.
