WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Military veteran farmers, or those interested in starting a career in farming, are invited to join National AgrAbility for a Veterans in Farming Regional Workshop in Indianapolis June 6-8.

Sessions will include veteran farm programs and resources, farming with a disability, business planning, land access and estate planning. Veterans, service providers, agriculture professionals and occupational and physical therapists are encouraged to join for educational sessions and to network with other peers and professionals. The last day will consist of tours of veteran-owned agricultural businesses.

“Veterans have served the nation in uniform and many of them want to serve on farms now,” said Joe Ricker, AgrAbility veteran outreach coordinator. “Farming allows them the opportunity to be challenged and provides some therapeutic values after service. Tied with AgrAbility and their passion to help people with physical challenges, we expect this workshop to be valuable to both the veterans and those that help them.”
