Each year, 200,000 military servicemembers separate from the military and return to civilian life. Farming can be a great career opportunity for these brave men and women where they can continue serving their communities and our country. One of my top priorities is ensuring that our veterans have what they need—from livable wages and good jobs to health care—to live with dignity and security. I am proud of the Vermont Farmer Veteran Coalition and the great work they are doing helping returning soldiers become successful farmers.
