Grower Member/Entrepreneur Selected to Board of Farmer Veteran Coalition of Kansas.

KSCGA grower member Brad Fourby, of Leafy Green Farm of Pittsburg, KS, has been selected for the Board of Directors of the Farmer Veteran Coalition of Kansas. As a veteran farmer and small business owner, Fourby sees the benefit in being a part of a network of grower veterans to support each others’ work in producing local foods and community development.

Brad’s work with Leafy Greens, a hydroponic high-density growing model utilizing reconditioned shipping containers, will be featured in KSCGA’s upcoming Winter 2023 Newsletter—along with a story on another KSCGA grower member who, as a Gulf War veteran, finds renewal in his cultivation efforts, as well as in his 2,300 mile Minnesota headwatere-to-Gulf of Mexico Mississippi River canoe trip
