Emily Buck selected for leadership program

Dr. Emily Buck of New Bloomington, Ohio has been selected to participate in the American Farm Bureau Federation’s (AFBF) Partners in Agricultural Leadership (PAL) program.

“Dr. Buck brings a wealth of talents with her in all that she does on behalf of Ohio agriculture and Ohio Farm Bureau,” said Melinda Witten, Ohio Farm Bureau Young Ag Professionals coordinator. “We are excited for her opportunity to continue developing her leadership skills and know she will represent Ohio Farm Bureau well.”

The two-year program provides the 10 young farmers and ranchers selected with in-person and hands-on training they can use when opportunities come up in the media, on speaking circuits or in testimonial arenas.

Dr. Buck is an associate professor of agricultural communications at Ohio State University. She was the 2013 Ohio Excellence in Agriculture award winner and 2014 finalist in the national competition.
