Veterans Day is Friday, and the Illinois Department of Agriculture is aiding veteran farmers through a free program.

The program is called 'Homegrown by Heroes' and allows military vets to use a special logo on the agricultural products they sell to the public. Here's Illinois Director of Agriculture Jerry Costello.

The Homegrown by Heroes program is free for all veterans with a 3-year renewal. To register, visit farm-vet-co-dot-org.
