Veteran Farmer Assistance and Outreach Program
Are you a military veteran interested in farming and agriculture? Starting an agricultural enterprise or farm ownership requires careful planning, just like any other business venture.
The Wisconsin Farm Center provides:
- Access to agricultural resources and support.
- Guidance on developing a business plan to launch a farm.
- A special Veteran Farmer Logo to help identify and promote veteran-owned agricultural products.
The Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) recognize the significant contributions of Veteran-Owned Farms to Wisconsin’s economy. To help veteran farmers promote their businesses, WDVA and DATCP offer a certified Veteran-Owned Farm logo for eligible farms.
