Leader for Agriculture

The Agriculture’s Next Generation Issues Forum (ANGI Forum) is a collaborative, multiple organi-zation and agribusiness supported discussion where the participating entities share their per-spectives. Experts will offer testimony on a se-lect number of current issues. Through the cross-section of participating voices, individuals will grow in their personal understanding and appreciation of the challenge of finding a nation-wide consensus. Further, they will come to un-derstand the common-ground that is shared by everyone in the agricultural community. Ideally, they will identify a common understanding of what must be done to promote success in the next generation of agriculture. .. USDA and Congressional Leaders Events feature leaders that influence the future of agricultural policy will be available for discussion. Individual participants will hear from a panel of leaders that serve in the Senate and House as agricultural liaisons. Further, executives from USDA will pre-sent opportunities and hear from participants as it relates to the Department’s work. . Eligible participants will attend form collaborat-ing organizations. They will have the opportunity to bring people to Agriculture’s Promise.

Agriculture’s Promise

The association is focused on helping individuals reach their full potential. With the Washing-ton experience, the association is working to partner with many other associations and organi-zations. The conference is designed to encourage individuals with an interest in the future of

the industry to learn about issues and receive insight on “how to make a difference for the next generation.” It includes an Ag Decision Makers College (policy discussion) and a Young Ag Leaders Event (career training for agriculturalists ages 18-22). Join NYFEA in Washington

A collaborative effort sponsored in part by the United States Department of Agriculture.

Thank You to Secretary Tom Vilsack.

Picture this: a national presence in Washington on the first Monday and Tuesday before Con-gress leaves for its annual Easter break. With young agriculturalists from collegiate back-grounds to active businessmen and women; this scene would represent all corners of the na-tion. Representative groups from every major commodity and policy entity would be included. Plus, individuals nominated and supported by industry would attend. All of them would con-verge on the nation’s capital for a day of connecting with the issues and the leaders that imple-ment policy. The participants would be encouraged to share with members of Congress the overall message of agriculture and the need to support the “next generation.” They would re-mind elected officials and other policy influencers that agriculture represents the strength of America. Further, they would call on the leaders of Congress to “stand strong” for the overall

business of food and fiber production.

Overview: From visits to the historically significant and inspirational monuments to discus-sions with key policy makers at both USDA and in Congress, former attendees have found this to be an extraordinary experience. All organizations with an emphasis group (council, commit-tee, advisory board…) focusing on training and encouraging the next generation are invited to attend. The event is hosted at the Gaylord National in Washington D.C. and coordinated by NY-

FEA).

The program will focus on providing Advocacy for the Next Generation. It is a dedicated time for taking the message of the next generation to the Hill.
