Soldiers to Agriculture Program

We had an incredible day visiting one of our Soldiers to Ag (STAG) alumni at their farm! There is nothing more rewarding than seeing our former students leading and mentoring our current class of new students, while passionately promoting agriculture. Thank you Mike and Melinda for your support of the Soldiers to Agriculture program in Cumberland County!
