The Institute will first meet in January and focus on public speaking, etiquette, and identifying personality and leadership skills. Subsequent sessions will focus on media training, local and state government, Farm Bureau structure and function, and national and international future ag issues.
The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Institute consists of five multi-day sessions that provide insights on issues important to agriculture, development of leadership and speaking skills, interaction with Farm Bureau leaders and staff and leaders in the governmental and agricultural sectors, and networking with other participants. The class will also participate in a trip to Washington, D.C. next June.
