A statewide effort moving forward linking veterans with agriculture opportunities.
It’s called the Farmer Veteran Alliance and involves input from 40 stakeholders throughout Illinois. Raghela (ra-gell-uh) Scavuzzo (sca-vooz-oh) is involved with the project. She's the Local Foods Manager for the Illinois Farm Bureau.
To learn more, Illinois veterans can log on to “illinoisfarmerveterans.org.” The project originated from an Illinois Farm Bureau working group three years ago.
