Home Grown by Heroes

Can this program help our veterans suicide rate?
Because they come back state-side 
and 
are forced to live in our 
woods, park-benches, sidewalk?
Well it and hundreds of potential other programs can and/or should be helping my brothers and sisters get back on their feet respectfully by meaningful jobs like the following!
"There but for the grace of God, go You or  I"!
Veterans have opportunity to grow with USDA and farming resources
Assistance with land, equipment and training
In 2018, USDA’s Farm Service Agency provided $64.5 million in direct and guaranteed farm operating loans to Veterans—and Veterans have preference.
Few pairings more closely align than Veterans and farming.
The skill sets developed in military service match many of the characteristics of a successful agricultural professional.
Whether it’s a sense of duty, responsibility and accountability for completing the mission, or being organized and disciplined, Veterans typically transition naturally into farming, ranching, and other agricultural opportunities.
