This unique, two-day workshop brings together veterans, service providers, experts and practitioners in an immersive, two-day event focused on reducing the risks associated with agricultural enterprises. Learn how to build your business, care for your land, crops, and livestock, access state, local and federal resources, manage stress, prevent injury, and explore what's possible on local farms in the region. This workshop has been designed for military veterans and their families at any stage of an agricultural pursuit, whether you've been farming for years or are just starting to explore. University of Idaho Extension and the Farmer Veteran Coalition of Idaho Chapter are committed to improving the economic opportunities and quality of life for military veterans choosing agriculture as their next mission. This project is funded by a grant from the Western Extension Risk Management Education Center to utilize peer to peer learning and a regional approach to connect Idaho's farmer veterans with risk management education and each other.
