Apps Due for Pork Leadership Institute June 26-29
Illinois Ag Connection - 05/24/2017

The Illinois Pork Leadership Institute (IPLI) provides an opportunity for young men and women to become actively involved in the pork industry and all of agriculture. IPLI, sponsored by the Illinois Pork Producers Association (IPPA), is administered by the IPPA Youth Committee.

IPLI focuses on leadership, citizenship, and communication skills through hands-on experiences. Youth will learn about pork promotion, research, consumer information and issues that affect the pork industry today. IPLI delegates must be 16-22 years old by the start of the trip. IPLI delegates need not be pork producers or from pork producing families, but must exhibit a sincere interest in the pork industry and agriculture.

This year's IPLI trip will be held June 26-29 and based in the St. Louis, Mo., area.

Tours and activities will include:

- Quincy Farm Products

- Purina Mills

- Mastermind Escape Room

- Taste of STL food tour

- Cooking Class

- Moon Ridge Foods

- International Ingredient Corporation/International Food Products

- National Corn & National Soybean Representatives
