Seminar 7 - Washington D.C.
Our trip to the Nation's Capital was a great venture to the East coast. The opportunity to visit Gettysburg and participate in a Leadership experience with Diamond6 Leadership was a fantastic way to kick off our trip. My favorite meeting of the trip was our time with American Farm Bureau Federation. Their staff is a great source of advocacy for Farmers, Ranchers, and all producers across the nation. They have an impressive array of responsibilities to cover in order to advocate for agriculture as a whole. The wide array of meetings we were able to cover provided great insight into what goes on at a higher level than what we see on a daily basis. Being joined by the other leadership groups from Washington state, Kansas, Kentucky, and Virginia provided opportunities for bigger audiences to attend meetings. It also gave us a great opportunity to meet Ag folks from across the US that we would not normally be able to meet in our normal day to day operations. Capping the week off
