The Interactive Classroom is Land At Home’s annual gathering helping you find your natural starting point in the agriculture industry, or identifying specific areas to grow your existing endeavor.
This isn’t a lecture series; it’s a strategic workshop focused on translation. We help you map your existing military skills directly to agricultural production. Whether you are looking for your first step in agriculture or scaling your current operation, you will leave with a clearer direction and a stronger network.
The Experience: Set against the backdrop of the historic White Stallion Ranch in Tucson, you’ll connect with like-minded veterans and established local producers who are ready to grow your network.
Why Attend?
Get to know your personal strengths and abilities, figure out how your abilities fit into your agricultural aspirations, build your network, and identify your next step! All in a one day event held at the scenic White Stallion Ranch!
Skill Translation: Learn how your existing military skills apply to agriculture.
Network Building: Meet with established producers and connect with potential mentors.
Strategic Focus: Let us help you focus your niche in the agriculture industry.
