Update for June 25, 2009

The weekend before last my eyes were once again opened to the potential and bright future ahead for agriculture. For two days I served on the nominating committee for our next state FFA officer team. During the time I was able to see the passion and excitement that numerous high school graduates have for our industry. I was extremely impressed with their dedication, commitment and leadership ability.

While the challenges we face continue to grow, it is great to see so many young leaders actively engaged on our side of the battle. Several of them were involved in one way or another with dairy production. I believe any efforts we can take to recruit and develop young people to be active leaders in our industry will be magnified significantly.
