I read over the article, and although it sounds good, the K-State crowd of academics are touting training of veterans in traditional agriculture, producing commodity crops and livestock. What they always omit to point out is the economic reality that going into Ag with out deep-pocket financing, debt, etc. is economical unfeasible. Farmers in this country have to be subsidized by the government and despite this they barely keep their heads above water. This issue is what the Farm Resettlement Congress was all about. We need to train these vet in non-traditional Ag with a focus on organic and a local market focus. These vets need to learn about sustenance farming first, powering down, and working debt free, and then growing a viable farm business on a new model.
There needs to be an economic revolution in agriculture similar to what happened in Cuba, before we can make a transition. Right now industrial agriculture model for the individual, small farmer is a dead end.
