Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding and Department of Military and Veterans Affairs Deputy Adjutant General for Veterans Affairs Brigadier General (PA) Maureen Weigl visited Sinking Creek Meats, a veteran-owned beef operation and PA Preferred® Homegrown By Heroes member in Centre County. The visit was Redding's fourth stop on his statewide Food Fuels PA tour.Since 2015, Governor Tom Wolf has invested more than $3 million to support the commonwealth's farmer-veterans who protect and cultivate the land, feed communities and fuel prosperity."As we honor Veteran's Day, we say thank you to the military service people who have selflessly served our country," said Secretary Redding. "Veterans in agriculture have the unique distinction of both protecting and feeding the people and places we call home. Supporting veteran farmers through the Homegrown By Heroes program is one small way we can give back to a community who has given us so much."
