The Indiana Agricultural Leadership Program is now taking applications for Class 14. Individuals with a connection to agriculture, and are interested in enhancing their understanding of public affairs and developing the expertise to play a leading role should apply. The program features ten in-state seminars, a week of study in Washington DC and two weeks of international study.

I was a member of Class 4 and have greatly benefited from the experience.

The end of March, First of April,

Many a green and muddy day.

Its like looking forward to Christmas,

But Thanksgiving gets in the way.

Soon though will be the smell of soil,

Spring Peepers fortell weather fair,

Big wheels will be a turnin’,

And the wiff of diesel will be in the air.
