Today, on Women in Agriculture Day, we would like to recognize and celebrate all of the amazing women who make massive contributions to agriculture nationwide! Farmer Veteran Coalition is proud to have many female Farmer Veterans amongst our ranks. To all the women in agriculture, we thank you for your hard work and dedication! ?????? #WomenInAgricultureDay #WomenInAg #FarmHers #farmerveterancoalition

Wildfires can affect us mentally and physically. Finances, machinery breakdown, loss of supplies, and family conflict can increase during times like these, leaving us feeling defeated. Commissioner Sid Miller and the Texas Department of Agriculture offer a helping hand for those in crisis, and we urge Texans to spread awareness of our AgriStress resource. If you or any loved ones are in need of help, call 833-897-2474 for the free and confidential AgriStress Helpline.

Over 40 tornadoes have torn through 8 states, leaving devastation in their wake. 36 lives have been lost, many are still missing, and countless families — including our Farmer Veterans — have sustained damage or lost their homes, farms, and livelihoods. Veterans are the backbone of rural America and leaders in our communities, stewards of our land, and protectors of our way of life. Together, we can pull together to rebuild and move our communities forward. How you can help: ? Donate online – Every dollar goes directly to farmer veterans in need.

Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying "Yes" to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper you will learn to: 1.???????- Recognize the warning signs of suicide 2.???????-?Know how to offer hope 3.???????- Learn the 3 simple steps of Question, Persuade, and Refer. The Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) is pleased to offer these QPR training opportunities through the support of grants. FVC has provided over 70 QPR training and follow-up debriefing opportunities to help anyone to provide assistance in suicide prevention. During the training, you will learn QPR and why farmers and veterans are more vulnerable to suicide. Monica McConkey, Rural Mental Health Specialist is the trainer. #suicideprevention #stressmanagement #agriculture
