Our sponsor, Accelerated Genetics, just held their Young Producer Leadership Conference and we’ve got pictures and information for you. I’m going to put it into several posts. The Conference was held March 25-26 at the Voyageur Inn Conference Center in Reedsburg, WI.

The Leadership Conference’s program was specifically tailored for persons who wanted to improve their leadership skills, participate in educational activities, network with other producers and have fun doing it. Speakers Jolene Brown, Don Wick and Tom Jadin were featured at the Leadership Conference, along with other educational and fun sessions designed to help producers manage and lead their family, farm and cooperative in the future.

Brown (pictured) shared with the group the benefits of a positive sense of humor and how they extend to better health, understanding rural issues, and positive farm family relationships. In addition, she offered information and tools to improve communication, foster farm-family and inter-generational relationships, and increase the farm business’ bottom line.
