Thirty high school sophomores were recently selected to participate in the Missouri Department of Agriculture’s Missouri Agribusiness Academy, including Colton Roy of Gilman City. The students will spend time throughout the year exploring various segments of Missouri agriculture.
“I am so proud of the 2020 Missouri Agribusiness Academy (MAbA) class,” said Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn. “These students are a bright spot in Missouri agriculture and represent the promise of our next generation. It is our hope that MAbA will further develop their leadership skills and introduce them to new career opportunities in agriculture.”
To make the most of the Missouri Agribusiness Academy experience during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department is exploring virtual avenues for professional and leadership development.
As social distancing measures allow, MAbA will also be working to bring students together for tours of agriculture businesses, guest speaker presentations, and visits with influential leaders in agriculture to learn about career opportunities in agribusiness.
