Baton Rouge, La. – Following the 7th annual Louisiana
Small Farmer Conference at the Southern
University Land-Grant Campus, twelve individuals graduated from the Small Farmer Agricultural
Leadership Institute on March 18.
They are Delores Andrews; Elaine Brumfield; Ricky Brumfield;
Mahdi Cezar; Craig Coleman; Larry Freeman; Chris Hayes; Lillie Howard; Yolanda
Renee Lee; Patricia Richardson; Patrick Richardson and Rosie White.
The overriding goal of the Institute is to promote the
sustainability of the small family farms through enhanced business management
skills and leadership development.
“The leadership institute has taken the majority of the
participants from being just small producers through the mindset of becoming great
producers with limited acreage, herds or holdings,” said Dawn Mellion-Patin, Vice
Chancellor for Extension and director of the Small Farmer Leadership Institute.
