Twenty-two Ohioans interested in becoming future leaders, advocates and activists for Ohio agriculture have been selected by OFBF to participate in its AgriPOWER program, which was launched last year as an elite training program for farmers and agribusiness professionals. The yearlong program, which consists of seven weekend institutes, focuses on public policy issues confronting agriculture and the food industry. Topics covered during institute programs include public policy issues facing local communities, the state of Ohio, the nation and the world.
