Peanut Growers: Apply Now for the Peanut Leadership Academy

Alright peanut growers, let’s talk. You already know how to grow a good crop, but what about growing yourself as a leader? The Peanut Leadership Academy is looking for folks just like you, and the deadline to apply is coming up fast on October 15.

So what’s it all about? Think of it as a chance to step away from the farm every so often and see the bigger picture of the peanut industry. The program is divided into five sessions held in different regions. You’ll travel a bit, meet other growers, and swap ideas while getting a front row seat to how peanuts move from the field all the way to international markets. Along the way, you’ll connect with industry leaders and build skills in everything from policy and marketing to research and professional development.

To apply, you need to be actively farming peanuts, preferably between 22 and 45.
