Grower Spotlight: Charles Robinett & Scott Vetterkind

Grower Spotlight: Charles Robinett & Scott Vetterkind

What an honor it was to sit down with two former Marines who spent over 20 years protecting our freedoms. Now they serve our country in a different way but still have the same fight and determination. Charles and Scott share with me their journey from retirement to starting their own poultry farm. The lessons they’ve learned in the military have shaped how they face and overcome the current challenges of working in the commercial poultry industry. We are grateful for their service and think you’ll be encouraged by this spotlight.

The Grower Spotlight series is one of my favorites because getting to know farmers like you is the best part of my job. If you need anything relating to poultry biosecurity, need help troubleshooting problems on your farm or simply want to learn more about what we do, connect with me, Allen Reynolds, at 800-608-3755 or allen@southlandorganics.com. Don’t forget to subscribe because we are constantly adding content to help you keep your farm healthy!
