Read MoreAgriPOWER is an elite program designed specifically for farmers and agribusiness professionals. This yearlong program focuses on public policy issues confronting agriculture and the food industry such as consumer relations, regulations, energy, and trade policies. It helps individuals develop the skills necessary to become effective leaders and advocates for agriculture by learning from experts in these fields.
This leadership and advocacy development program typically consists of seven multi-day institutes. Topics covered during institute programs will include public policy matters facing local communities, Ohio, the nation and the world. Additionally, specific sessions will help class members develop important skills necessary to become an effective leader and advocate for agriculture. Two of the institute sessions will be held out of state (one in Washington, D.C. and the other location will be decided at a later date) to help class members gain a valuable understanding of national and global issues.
You should apply for AgriPOWER if:
Individuals may nominate themselves or have their nomination sponsored by their respective county Farm Bureau, other agricultural organization or employer. If you are nominating yourself, you must be a Farm Bureau member.
Tuition includes lodging, meals, breaks, group travel and all course materials. Ohio Farm Bureau often offers several scholarships. The contribution of those who receive scholarships will be their time, energy and commitment to make the program a success as well as a volunteer commitment after completion of the program. All participants, county Farm Bureaus and other agricultural organizations and businesses are invited to make a financial contribution to strengthen the program. Other organizations are invited to sponsor a participant, or in some cases, an individual and his/her employer may cooperate to cover the program’s tuition.
Applications for 2022 are closed.
