New Tractors Presented to Farmer Veteran Coalition Members

In partnership with the Farmer Veteran Coalition, Kubota presented five farmer veterans with new tractors as a part of its “Geared to Give” program.  In observance of Veterans’ Day, each farmer received the keys to their new tractor during a ceremony in their respective hometowns.  Hundreds of applications came in for the giveaway program, with Kubota selecting five winners in each of their operating divisions.

Winners included three Army veterans, an Air Force Veteran, and a U.S. Marine, including the first female veteran to receive a tractor through the Geared to Give Program.

Alex Woods, Kubota’s Vice President of Sales, says, “The program empowers farmer veterans to achieve their dreams. We’re very happy to have selected the five veterans to receive their awards.” Michael O’Gorman, Executive Director of the Farmer Veteran Coalition, says, “One of the great joys of doing this work is being able to make a positive impact on our farmer veterans by providing them with the tools to succeed on their operations. Having horsepower on the farm is the ultimate gift for a farmer.”

Farmer veterans can apply every year to the FVC Fellowship Fund to be considered for donated Kubota equipment through the “Geared to Give” program.
