Veteran Farmer Assistance and Outreach Program

If you are a military veteran interested in learning more about farming and getting started in agriculture, The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection is able to assist by providing you with access to resources and give guidance on business plan development. Taking the first steps to becoming involved in any agriculture enterprise, including farm ownership, should be examined and planned with the same care as any other form of entrepreneurship.

Many resources are available to help in the decision-making process. To begin creating a framework, some excellent starting-point resources are listed on this page. If you have questions or are ready to explore the next steps, give the Wisconsin Farm Center a call or send us an email: 1-800-942-2474, FarmCenter@wisconsin.gov
