Iowa Hunger Calendar

Join the Farmer Veteran Coalition at the National Farmer Veteran Stakeholders Conference November 14-15 in Des Moines, Iowa for networking, peer-to-peer learning, and to shape a strategy for long-term collaborations.

Farmer Veteran Coalition is organizing the first national forum on programs for veterans pursuing careers related to food and agriculture. The conference will bring together veteran-serving and farmer-serving organizations to share lessons learned and explore new partnerships. All stakeholders from the agricultural and veteran communities are invited: non-profits, businesses, philanthropists, government agencies, trade associations, and educators.

Speakers will represent local, state and national non-profits and trade associations, local, state and federal government programs, agricultural employers, civic leaders, farmer-veterans, entrepreneurs, and others. Sessions will address successful models, lessons learned, and difficult questions related to coordinating programs and services.

Sponsors include The Farm Credit System, American Farm Bureau Federation, CHS Inc. and the National Farmers Union.
