The Nebraska LEAD Program is recruiting prospective participants interested in being part of the 32nd LEAD class, beginning this fall.
LEAD – which stands for Leadership Education Action Development – was formed in 1981 as a way to develop leaders in the agriculture industry.
LEAD President and Director Terry Hejny (hey-nee) says they are looking for people, generally between the ages of 25 and 50, who are involved in production agriculture or agribusiness to participate in the two-year program. (play audio :23)
