Jun 12, 2014

The American Soybean Association (ASA) and DuPont are seeking applicants for the 2015 Young Leader Program. Interested applicants should apply on line at https://soygrowers.com/learn/young-leader-program

The 2015 class of ASA/DuPont Young Leaders training program will kick off with a session Nov. 18 - 21, 2014 at DuPont Pioneer’s Headquarters in Johnston, Iowa. Young Leaders will continue their training in Phoenix, Ariz. February 24 – 28, 2015.  While in Phoenix, Young Leaders will also have the opportunity to participate in Commodity Classic.

The ASA DuPont Young Leader program has a long standing tradition of identifying and cultivating farmer leaders who not only help shape U.S. soybean industry but all of agriculture.  Through the training, participants strengthen leadership skills while building valuable grower networks with other farmer leaders from around the country.

ASA, its 26 state affiliates, including the Grain Farmers of Ontario, and DuPont Pioneer will work together to identify the top producers to represent their state as part of this program. One couple or individual per state will be chosen to participate.
