The mission of the Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) is to mobilize veterans to feed America. We cultivate a new generation of farmers and food leaders, and develop viable employment and meaningful careers through the collaboration of the farming and military communities. We believe that food production offers purpose and opportunity as well as physical and psychological benefits. The Farmer Veteran Coalition serves military veterans of all eras and branches. We work with veterans, their families, employers and mentors to support those returning to or beginning careers in food and farming.

The Farm Credit Associations of South Carolina were proud to sponsor and attend the 2024 Palmetto Veterans in Agribusiness Outreach Fair and Symposium. It was an absolute honor to speak with those that served our country and were interested in agriculture. We even ran into some familiar faces during the event!

It's the best time of the year to be a Palmetto Farmer Veteran! We can't wait to see you at the Palmetto Veteran Agribusiness Outreach Fair and Symposium on February 24th in Columbia.

The best AI-generated image left in the comments with a subtle reference to a farmer veteran will receive a special prize at the Symposium.)
It is always a pleasure representing the incredible Farmer Veterans across the Palmetto state! South Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture Hugh Weathers and Palmetto Agribusiness Council CEO Ronnie Summers are incredible advocates for Farmer Veterans. Their leadership is crucial to ensuring opportunities in agriculture across the state. Please help us thank them for all that they do!
