During the first-phase of a two-part leadership program, the 30th class of ASA DuPont Young Leaders began their journey last week at Pioneer's headquarters in Johnston, Iowa.


Representatives from 22 states and Canada including Oklahomans Cody and Ashley Sloan--participated in training that included a communications workshop, DiSC workplace assessment, soybean issues panel discussion and soybean pipeline update. The Johnston training session was the first phase of a program designed to identify new and aspiring leaders and provide them with opportunities to enhance their skills and network with other growers.


"The ASA DuPont Young Leader Program is truly helping shape the future of the soybean industry," said ASA President Danny Murphy, a soybean farmer from Canton, Miss. "By identifying new and aspiring leaders and providing participants with a training opportunity that enhances their skills while growing their peer network, the Young Leader program builds a more collaborative industry that better represents their local, state and national organizations and agricultural interests."


The 2014 class of ASA DuPont Young Leaders participating in the first phase of training included: James Hereford, Ala.; Adam Cloninger, Ark.; Andrew & Savannah Moore, Ga; Drew DeSutter, Ill.; Matt & Carla Schenk, Ind.; Tim Couser, Iowa; Kregg Rennie, KS; Quint & Leah Pottinger, Ky.; Matt Hinderer, Mich.; Michael Petefish, Minn.; Pierce Brown, Miss.; Kellen Bounous, Mo.; Matt & Brandy King, Neb.; Bryant & Courtney Jennings, NC.; Joe & Rachael Ericson, SD.; Jeff Adams, Ohio.; Cody & Ashley Sloan, Okla.; Charles Rogers, SC.: Scott Biskeborn, SD; Jay & Alice Yeargin, Tenn.; Tyler Franklin, Va.; Johnathan Gibbs, Wis. and Rob & Cindy Foster, Canada.


"Agriculture faces many challenges and opportunities as American farmers work to help meet the growing global demand for food. We are proud to support the young leader program, which is developing the future growers needed to capture those opportunities and meet those challenges," said Randy Wanke, Sr. Manager Industry Relations, Pioneer.
