Army veteran shares how he went from military service to agriculture

One veteran has first-hand experience of what it is like to transition from military to service to agriculture.

Army veteran Ron Bridges with the Farmer Veteran Coalition speaks with RFD-TV’ News on how he ended up in agriculture and how the military prepared him for it.

His sons, who also served, wanted to get out into the country. Bridges states, “Our motto on that farm was ‘we’re going to heal the land, as we heal ourselves.’”
