Testimonials
“What does all of this information about agriculture have to do with leadership or with me? This isn't relevant to my experience. As I progressed through the program, I realized that agriculture is part of every aspect of my life. The foundation of our society! Where would we be, as a society, without agriculture?
My leadership, my community, and me personally, are better because of what I have learned about agriculture. I have discussed "farming" with so many people over the past two years. People think of a "farm" and they picture thousands of acres of corn or wheat. They almost never think of llamas, or apples, or a plot of land in the City of Harrisburg. What farming brings to our lives is immeasurable and has more value than I realized.”
