Agriculture Leadership Network

About the Program

The goal of the Agriculture Leadership Network (ALN) is to provide training to increase leadership and advocacy skills at the state and national level throughout the program. During this time there will also be a focus on networking opportunities for participants with influential ag figures in the Northwest Minnesota and the Red River Valley Region. Participants will be selected based on their current involvement in agriculture and priority will be given to those emerging leaders who are actively engaged in farming and ranching.

Participants will be responsible to pay $1,000 for the program; $500 due August 12, 2023 and $500 due July 1, 2024. Cost includes meals, airfare, hotels, and training as provided.
