Nevada Farm Bureau Federation announced this week that Nebraska farmer veteran Dan Hromas will give a keynote at noon on Dec. 8 during the 2015 Nevada Farm Bureau Annual Meeting at the Peppermill Resort Spa Casino.
Hromas is a disabled military veteran who started Prairie Pride Poultry in 2013 with a mission to provide healthy, farm fresh eggs to consumers. Prairie Pride Poultry is situated on fifteen acres of pasture southwest of Grand Island, Neb. Hromas is an active member of the Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society, Buy Fresh Buy Local and the Farmer Veteran Coalition.
He shares his story to let other veterans know that they can find purpose in life after the military, whether it be in agriculture or another field. His last deployment was to Iraq in 2006 to 2007.
