Grain Farmers of Ontario is an affiliate of the ASA and our farmer-members are eligible to apply for this opportunity. The Young Leader program is designed to improve your leadership and communication skills, highlight the latest agricultural information, and help you develop a strong peer network.

The program is held over two sessions. The first takes place in Johnston, Iowa in November and the second in Orlando, Florida at the end of February. Actively farming couples or individuals 21 years or older are encouraged to apply by September 14.

For more information about the Young Leader program, go to: www.soygrowers.com or contact Steve McCabe, manager of member relations at Grain Farmers of Ontario at smccabe@gfo.ca.
