Syngenta Peanut Leadership Program


The Peanut Leadership Program is a cooperative effort between Syngenta Crop Protection, grower organizations and agricultural extension. Participants are nominated by agricultural leaders in their counties and then selected by a committee of state leaders.

The program began in 1998 with the first class of 14 peanut growers from Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

"The entire program helps prepare everyone involved in peanut production to meet the future and help create a better industry," says Lyle Stewart, district sales manager of Syngenta Crop Protection. "The long term benefits will be evident as we see these young growers step into leadership positions."
