The Eisenhower Fellowships Agriculture Program is offering a unique exchange program for one or two extraordinary farmers and ranchers, aged 32 to 45. Successful applicants will receive an all-expenses paid, five-week overseas program in one or two countries of their choice. He or she must be an active farmer with interests beyond his or her own operation. Individual programs will be tailored to the Fellows’ professional and personal interests.

The Fellows are expected to bring back knowledge, skills and international contacts which they will use to better their communities.  And they are to identify consequential outcomes which justify the investment we make in their leadership development. The Eisenhower Fellowships Agriculture Program is chaired by former Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Jim Moseley.

The program requests that nominations be submitted by May 1st.  The application deadline is June 15th. Please send any questions and/or nominations to: Erin Hillman at [email protected].   Application materials can be found at  http://www.efworld.org/programs/eisenhower_fellowships_prospective_usa_fellowships.php
