We are humbled by all the men and women who served this country in our US Armed Forces, in decades recent and in decades past. 🇺🇸
And equally as proud of our farmer veterans who returned home with farming their new mission, to serve their communities again by feeding them.
In recognition of Veterans Day, we will share stories and videos of a selection of our veterans, along with some words of gratitude from our team members.
...It's an honor to serve those who have served.
Sneak Peek.
A little snippet of what Shay Foulk presents tomorrow during the session The Road That Connects Us: United by Our Post-Service Pathways, on self-care and peer connection.
"If there's one thing we've learned this year, it's that farming and agriculture can be a lonely endeavor. As we've dealt with social distancing, it's been hard to lose the social interactions we once enjoyed, that farmers thrive off of."
...He asks - How do we grow? How do we learn from each other?
"Taking 4 or 5 days out of the year to work on the business can seem like a real challenge, however I don't know many people who have ever attended an education or business development event and walked away from it thinking 'Man, what a waste of time.' At least not one when you're surrounded by a group of people who truly want to be there and take you to the next level."
