Applicants Sought for 2014 ASA/DuPont Young Leader Program

Jun 06, 2013

DYL program logoASA and DuPont Pioneer are seeking applicants for the 2014 Young Leader Program. Now in its historic 30th year, the ASA DuPont Young Leader program is recognized throughout agriculture for its tradition of identifying and cultivating farmer leaders who are shaping not only the U.S. soybean industry but all of agriculture.

"The Young Leader Program has had a significant impact on the soybean industry," said ASA President Danny Murphy. "For three decades, ASA/DuPont Young Leaders have participated in training and developed peer networks that have enabled them to better serve and represent their national, state and local agricultural industry organizations. Additionally, the training has a ‘real-world’ factor, providing a significant impact on their business as well."

A challenging and educational two-part training program, the 2014 class of ASA/DuPont Young Leaders will meet for the first time at Pioneer’s headquarters in Johnston, Iowa, Nov. 19-22. The program will continue Feb. 25-March 1, 2014 in San Antonio, with training held in conjunction with Commodity Classic.

Applications will be accepted through Oct. 1 at https://soygrowers.com/learn/young-leader-program/.
