Farm aid • Garrett Dwyer sits in front of the Dwyer Ranch sign. His family has been on this land since 1984, when his great-great grandfather homesteaded it. Dwyer says he has learned modern farm management and business skills from the Farmer Veteran Coalition, which helps military vets who grew up as farm kids – or who want to be farmers or ranchers for the first time.
