I am Oliver Hargrove, a 45 year old Navy veteran from the Detroit area. I found out about the Vets 2 Ag program at a veterans job fair at Piquette Square. I was homeless about a year before entering the program. Since entering the program I've recieved a great insight into the Agriculture Industry.


The Vets to Ag program has opened up several doors and possibilities into careers and education. The agriculture field is fastly growing and in need of qualified workers in sales, research, manufacturing, and  food processing, just to name a few. The staff and students at MSU have been so helpful and caring in their efforts to help us succeed in this program. This is a great opportunity for veterans to get their lives back on track and become productive citizens again.
