Peterson selected for wheat leadership trainingKansas Dana Peterson, producer policy specialist for Kansas Wheat, is one of 11 leaders who will participate in the 2008 class of the Wheat Industry Leaders of Tomorrow. WILOT, which is sponsored by Monsanto, is targeted at producers who are interested in becoming more involved--or involved for the first time--in their state wheat grower associations. Wheat advocates from throughout the Wheat Belt will participate in the WILOT Class. "We are extremely proud that Dana Peterson will represent Kansas in this elite leadership training program. Dana already is an outstanding leader in the industry and we believe she will be a tremendous asset to the 2008 WILOT class," said Dusti Fritz, CEO. The WILOT program curriculum focuses on personal leadership styles, dealing effectively with the media, agricultural policy, advocacy, technology issues in wheat, and the NAWG structure. Friendships made between growers during program training are another important element of the program. This year's WILOT training will be held in St. Louis from Oct. 25 until Oct. 30. Peterson, a native of Smith County, holds a master's degree in agricultural economics from Kansas State University and is a graduate of the Kansas Agricultural and Rural Leadership Class VII.
