LEAD
Beginning in 1998, Kentucky Farm Bureau has been providing leadership training through our Leadership Enhancement for Agricultural Development (LEAD) Program. Since the program’s inception, 220 outstanding men and women from across the state have participated in this intensive learning experience focusing on political involvement, effective communication, personal development, and Farm Bureau involvement.
The LEAD Program is open to any Farm Bureau member between the ages of 25-40 who demonstrates leadership potential. An informational brochure may be found below.
Farm Bureau has always supported the development of young agricultural leaders. Through the LEAD Program, up to 16 young Farm Bureau members will have the opportunity to spend two years developing both personally and professionally.
Applications will be available in the Fall of 2026 for the 2027-2028 LEAD Class.
