Easterseals Wisconsin is in its final year of the SDA 2501 grant, supporting veterans who are also farmers. Over three years, the program has engaged more than 100 farmers, including 10 veteran mentees, and provided resources like peer learning, niche marketing classes, and connections to services such as succession planning and financial counseling through the Wisconsin Farm Center.
This initiative, in partnership with UW–Extension Services, the Farmer Veteran Coalition, and the Wisconsin Farm Center, has helped historically underserved farmers, including military veterans, gain access to critical USDA programs and services.
