Check out my latest Farm Progress column on the importance of #Farmer leaders in in #Agriculture. Below is a quick summary for those TLDRers among you. A link to the full article is below the summary. 🚜 Innovative Networking and Learning Opportunities: #CommodityClassic in Houston was not only a showcase for state-of-the-art agricultural equipment but also a prime networking event, featuring organizations like National Sorghum Producers and the United Sorghum Checkoff Program. This gathering provides an invaluable platform for agriculture professionals to connect and share insights. 🌽 Spotlight on Farmer Leaders: This year's event highlighted (to me at least!) the essential role of farmer leaders, with notable speeches from industry representatives. Leaders like Craig Meeker, chairman of National Sorghum Producers, demonstrated the significant impact of having farmers who lead and advocate for the industry. 📢 Call to Action for Emerging Leaders: Aspiring sorghum farmer leaders are encouraged to apply for Leadership Sorghum Class VII. This initiative is crucial for bringing fresh perspectives and leadership into the sorghum industry. Applications are open until September 13, providing a unique opportunity for farmers to step up and make a difference. #AgricultureLeadership #SorghumIndustry #FarmerVoices #AgricultureInnovation https://lnkd.in/gpDFHcyv
