Farmer Veteran Coalition

Yosemite Farm Credit is proud to support the Farmer Veteran Coalition. The Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) is the nation’s largest nonprofit organization assisting veterans-and currently serving members-of the Armed Forces to embark on careers in agriculture. FVC began in 2007 with the mission to mobilize veterans to feed America. FVC helps veterans returning to farm with everything from financing to marketing. Click here to learn more.
