Description: The Farmer Veteran Coalition of Iowa assists military veterans to develop, grow, and succeed as Iowa’s next generation of farmers and agribusiness leaders. They connect military veterans with resources and networks of information, programs, and organizations to help transition to agricultural careers, identify collaborations and resources between agribusiness, farming, education and military communities, and promote opportunities for all military veterans in all sectors of Iowa’s agricultural economy. How to Help: One of the best ways to support the Farmer Veteran Coalition of Iowa is to join as a member. Farmer Veterans may join the coalition free of charge and access their resources and programs. Farmer Veterans include veterans of the US Military, Active Duty, Guard and Reserve members who are involved in, or wish to be involved in, some aspect of agriculture. Those who are not Farmer Veterans and would like to join may do so as a Supporter. Supporters are requested to make a contribution to the organization. Other ways to support the Farmer Veteran Coalition of Iowa include using their directory to locate Farmer Veterans and purchasing their products or renting them land. Another way to show support is by donating farm machinery to Farmer Veterans. Employers can also use the "Rural America Hiring Heroes" program to identify and hire qualified Farmer Veterans.
