For almost 2 years we’ve been coordinating (with a little help from our friends) the Mid Missouri Agricultural Leaders Luncheon. Yesterday was our next to last one before someone new takes over. Wayne Yokley, Chairman of the Missouri State Fair, Youth In Agriculture Foundation, was our speaker.

Each month we hold a meeting in either Jefferson City or Columbia, MO. We’ll have from 15 to 75 people show up. There’s no dues, bank account, committees or committment (except for the coordinators). I’m amazed that we usually have more people attend than many of the organizations I belong to that have a formal administrative and legal structure. I think people like the informality and lack of pressure.

BTW. Wayne did a great job and you are encouraged to always support youth in agriculture wherever you are.
