On March 28, Veterans in Farming is hosting its State Meeting — and if you’re a veteran in agriculture in Indiana, this episode explains why you should be there.
In this conversation, we sit down with Retired Colonel Joe Ricker, Executive Director of Veterans in Farming and founder of At Ease Orchard.
Joe was recently featured on RFD-TV discussing the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Farm Safety Week initiative and also represented our community at the West Virginia Small Farm Conference. Now he shares why this in-person gathering matters before the growing season begins.
We discuss:
• Who the State Meeting is designed for
• Why the Indiana State Director of Agriculture’s participation is significant
• What author and pasture-based farmer John Klar brings to the program
• The practical value of attending in person
• AgrAbility and farm safety resources for veteran producers
• Lodging scholarships and how to reserve your room
This is more than a meeting. It’s a full day of practical education, strong speakers, and connection with fellow Indiana veterans in agriculture before the busy season begins.
Registration is available on the Veterans in Farming website under the “State Meeting” page.
