The LSU AgCenter Agricultural Leadership Development Program will continue to accept applications for Class XIX through Aug. 23. Once the applications have been received, an interview process will begin in September to select the class members.
The program was established in 1988 and helps educate its participants on ways to be a voice for agriculture on local, state and national levels. Bobby Soileau, program director, said class members will be exposed to a variety of critical agricultural issues and strategies that can be used to inform the public how the issues affect agriculture and the general populace.
