Nathan and Tori Oehlrich of Richland, Neb., have been selected as the Nebraska Soybean Association's 2007 Young Leaders.

While attending the Commodity Classic they will participate in an extensive four day leadership training program designed to develop leadership skills. The Oehlrichs will join 26 other Young Leader winners from across the United States. The group will also participate in a part two training program to be held in Des Moines in December of 2007.
