MICENT: the Michigan Corn Education,
Networking and Training Program
The Corn Marketing Program of Michigan is seeking applications for the Michigan Corn Education, Networking and Training Program (MI CENT). This program is designed to provide educational opportunities for the next generation of Michigan corn farmers. Topics include agronomy, technology, farm management, the work of the National Corn Growers Association and one topic picked by the class. There will also be plenty of time provided for networking.
The program consists of five sessions. The four sessions in Michigan will begin with an evening reception followed by 1.5 days of educational presentations. The session in Washington, DC will be approximately 3 days. The material will be in-depth, challenging and rewarding.
Participants may be nominated by their peers or they may nominate themselves. Upon nomination an individual will be notified and sent an application.
Application review will take place in the fall and participants will be notified at that time. Primary selection criteria includes the applicants’ desire and ability to participate. We will also consider diversity among farm size, geographic location and agronomy background.
