Program Overview
As a New Century Farmer, you will participate in an all-expense paid educational seminar held on the Pioneer campus in Johnston, Iowa, each July. This is not a monetary scholarship, nor is there a cash award. During the seminar, you will:
-
Learn how farmers can profit from added-value products, the use of technology, new farm business opportunities and building business alliances with other producers;
-
Learn ways to overcome some of the common challenges faced by young farmers;
-
Grow both personally and professionally; and
-
Network with your peers - a group of extraordinary young people like yourself, who are excited about pursuing production agriculture as a career.
