In this episode of the VetFarm Network, we sit down with Charley, who served in the Army for 28 years. He shares how leadership experience from military service carries over into agriculture—and why veterans shouldn’t be afraid to do things differently. Whether it's starting small, pivoting your plans, or stepping into a mentorship role, Charley brings a grounded perspective on what it takes to build something meaningful after service.
We also cover two upcoming events:
– The 12th Annual Salute to Veterans Charity Golf Outing, hosted by the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs, is on May 9 and benefits At Ease Orchard. Visit ateaseorchard.org for details—registration is through the IDVA website.
– The Veteran Farmer Conference is happening this July in Shipshewana, Indiana, bringing together veterans and caregivers from Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois. Learn more at vetsinfarming.com.
To stay connected with opportunities like these, join Vets IN Farming—it’s free and open to veterans, military families, and caregivers interested in agriculture.
