The American Soybean Association and Corteva Agriscience are looking for applicants to the 2019-2020 Young Leader Program.
It’s a two-part educational program for actively farming individuals and couples who are passionate about the future possibilities of agriculture.
The women and men who take part in the program are the leaders who will shape the future of agriculture. Stuart Sanderson, a Class of 2019 member, says:
“The training and interaction with fellow growers and ASA leaders over the past year have been an invaluable asset to me personally, and a source of new ideas and avenues for my family farm.”
Phase 1 of the program takes place in Indianapolis, Indiana, December 3-6. Phase 2 is February 25-29 in San Antonio, Texas, in conjunction with the annual Commodity Classic Convention and Trade Show.
“The Young Leader Program has had a tremendous impact on agriculture, and we are grateful to Corteva Agriscience for continuing to invest in our future leaders,” says ASA President Davie Stephens.
“The program encouraged and trained many soybean farmers that are guiding the industry today.”
He says the Young Leader Program focuses on building growers’ potential while helping to create meaningful and lifelong relationships with growers across the U.S. and Canada. Interested applicants can go here for more information.
