Military Veterans in Agriculture Survey Released
November 07, 2016

After adopting the Ag Warriors program in 2013 and promoting the recruitment of military veterans and professionals into the agricultural industry for many years, AgCareers.com decided to look at the issue from a more critical standpoint. The "Veterans and Military Professionals in the Agricultural Workplace" survey was conducted this summer with responses from more than 100 people including both agricultural employers and military veterans and professionals in the industry.

Respondents were asked various questions regarding the scope of receptiveness toward hiring military veterans as well as potential obstacles involved in encouraging increased recruitment of veterans. Our analysis revealed both great successes as well as challenges that are outlined in our 2016 Survey Highlights document.
