Over 18 months, AgForestry presents 11 in-state, one national, and one international intensive hands-on learning seminars at public/private institutions of higher education, leading businesses, organizations and in the field. For each leadership class, AgForestry annually selects up to 24 candidates from state-wide applicants who encompass a range of professions and industries. These include people directly involved with agriculture, forestry, and fishing (producers, processors, shippers, marketing and sales) and related fields. The selection process is highly competitive. Two classes are conducted concurrently, providing leadership training for up to 48 individual leaders. We cultivate leaders who communicate, collaborate, inspire and serve.
