Speaker: Farmer Veteran Coalition

Chet with the Farmers Veteran Coalition is our kiwanis speaker. 

The Mission – mobilize veterans to feed America. 
Chet came home from the Marines and found reintegration to be a challenge. So he sought a way to heal through working with veterans to build their dreams. 
20% of the population lives in rural areas but 41% are military. Veterans are experiencing high unemployment. Farmers are aging out. There is a strong workforce of vets to take on the challenge of farming. 

Chet’s skill set is financial. He works with vets to set up the business plan, financing, and money planning. 
Look for the “Homegrown by Heroes” label.
