MAbA makes a difference!
What is "MAbA"?
Are you interested in becoming a future leader in agriculture and your community? The Missouri Agribusiness Academy is for you! MAbA is a youth leadership program designed for high school sophomores to explore career opportunities in agribusiness, government and production agriculture. Agriculture has a tremendous impact on our nation’s economy, and Missouri is at the heart of this industry. It is important that young people carry on the tradition and |
heritage of those who have made this state the agricultural leader it is today. The Academy will help provide you with a foundation in agricultural leadership and prepare you to meet the challenges and reap the rewards of the world’s greatest industry. This year, thirty students from across Missouri were chosen to participate in MAbA through a competitive written application and oral interview process. Academy members will tour agribusinesses and meet agricultural leaders in the Kansas City area June 9-13, 2008. |
