Thanks for following along with #AALPclass20’s journey. We can’t wait to pass the torch to #AALPclass21 later this year!

A fantastic graduation ceremony to wrap up 18 months of experiential learning through in-person seminars, study tours and webinars. It’s bittersweet to see it all come to an end, but the relationships built and memories made through AALP will last a lifetime 💚

Our final stop of the day was extra special! We were treated to a tour of Beverly Greenhouses by one of our very own - Daniel Vander Hout & his father, Jan. We learned about their innovative approach to integrated pest management & all things cucumber production & packing.

Stop 2 brought us to Roy-A-Lea farms where @drew_spoelstra hosted our class for a tour of their new robotic dairy barn

As all AALP alumni can relate, seminars get busy! Here’s a recap of #AALPclass20’s final tour day:

Wise words from a very wise man! @AALPClass @ROInstitute #AgLeadershipMatters

It’s hard to believe but #AALPclass20 has arrived at our final seminar! We kicked off our agenda with a thought-provoking presentation about the power of artifical intelligence & how it can be leveraged.

A look at organic beef production in Lithuania. This farm is home to 500 Limousin cattle. They are a fully integrated cow-calf and finishing farm. The end market for these cattle is Italy.

And just like that, we’ve reached the final stop of our IST: the Lithuanian Ministry of Agriculture. Our conversation was led by the Head of International Affairs and Export Promotion Department, Dr Antanas Venckus who provided us with an overview of agriculture and trade in LT

Taking a moment to reflect on 10 days of learning, networking & new experiences. Thank you to our many gracious hosts for taking the time to share your knowledge with us & to the trip organizers for making it all happen!

Agriculture is a very important part of trade for Lithuania, with agricultural and food products making up 19.3% of overall exports. Dairy, beef & grain are a large part of these exports.
