Minnesota farmer Parker Revier recently completed the American Soybean Association Corteva Agriscience Young Leader program with his significant other, Gabrielle Carmichael. This two-phase, year-long program took them to Iowa and Texas to grow leadership skills within agriculture.
Along the way, the couple made countless connections with industry peers.
“It was absolutely a fantastic experience for both Gabby and myself,” Revier said. “It was nice to reconnect with the young leaders. The second phase focused on how we can use our experiences in our story as farmers and as individuals to better promote and bridge the gap between the consumer and the farmer. That was a great experience and good learning exercise.”
After completing the Young Leader program, which celebrated its 40th classic this year, Revier will remain on the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association board as an at-large director.
“I’m going to continue my engagement with the Renville County Corn & Soybean Growers and look for other opportunities locally to engage with,” Revier said. “As far as MSGA, we’ll see what the future brings.”
Revier said he highly recommends the Young Leader program to anyone who is interested. Details to apply for the 2024-25 Class will be announced later this summer.
“It’s an experience that Gabby and I will never forget,” he said.
