Farm News: Farm Bureau Institute Grads On To D.C.commentsPosted: 06.02.2010 Graduates of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Institute will use their leadership skills on Capitol Hill later this month. The emerging agricultural leaders will talk with lawmakers and regulators about the issues facing Wisconsin’s $59 billion ag industry during their June 21-25 trip to the nation’s capital. “Needed policy changes on trade, immigration, climate change and estate taxes, as well as initial discussions about the 2012 farm bill are what our members plan to discuss with Wisconsin’s congressional delegation,” said Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation President, Bill Bruins, who along with the rest of WFBF board will travel to Washington D.C. with the Institute graduates.
While in Washington D.C., they will also meet with officials at the Environmental Protection Agency, American Farm Bureau Federation, and the embassies of New Zealand and South Korea.
Graduates of the Farm Bureau’s third Institute class taking part in the trip are: Steve Boe, Jackson County; Melissa Gerner, Racine County; Heather Golz, Green County; Victoria Harter, Oconto County; Adam Kuczer, Shawano County; Arch Morton, Rock County; Lisa Pettis, Eau Claire County; Jilayne Radtke, Marathon County; Brent Sinkula, Manitowoc County; Gunnar Tomsen, Dunn County; Steve Wagemester, Vernon County; and Joe Wollinger, Green Lake County
The Farm Bureau Institute offers personal growth and leadership training to members with the potential to make a positive impact on Farm Bureau and agriculture. Before graduating from the course last December, Institute participants were trained in public speaking, media training, local and state government, Farm Bureau structure and function, and emerging national and international ag issues.
