Meetings with representatives from government, industry and national organizations complement the year's seminar study and provide participants with practical first-hand exposure to the varied social, political and economic conditions that exist in this country. The second year seminar curriculum continues to build on the first year topics with added global perspectives. Emphasis is placed on international trade, foreign policy, cross-cultural understanding and geopolitics. Program participants are from every sector of agriculture and every part of Nebraska. Annually up to 30 fellows are selected in each class with preference given to applicants between the ages of 25-45.
Applicants provide extensive information about themselves, business and organization affiliations.
