The program identifies and cultivates the produc- er leaders who are shap- ing the soybean industry. It is sponsored by the Ontario Soybean Growers (OSG) and Pioneer Hi - Bred International Inc., a subsidiary of DuPont Canada. Hugh and Krista Dietrich, with their three children, farm 2,000 acres south of Lucan on Roman Line and operate their own elevator with a rotation of corn, soybeans and wheat. Hugh is also a member of the Middlesex Wheat Producers Board. Hugh and Krista were the only Canadians who attended a leadership training program in Nashville Feb. 26 -March 1 that coincided with the Commodity Classic Conference and Trade Show. The selection process for the Young Leader pro- gram involves an applica- tion, open to all soybean growers across Ontario and an interview with a panel of industry repre- sentatives. The program offers the opportunity for partici- pants to enhance their leadership skills as well as to meet and learn from other Young Leaders from across North America. "The Young Leader pro- gram is an exceptional leadership training pro- gram," says Leo Guilbeault, chairperson of the OSG. "This is a tremendous opportunity for partici- pants to learn about per- sonal growth and leader- ship and network with fellow producers." The second phase of training will take place at Pioneer's Headquarters in Johnston, IA, in early December. OSG partners with the American Soybean Association and DuPont to offer the program. 2008 marks the 25th Future leaders — Hugh and Krista Dietrich, who farm south of Lucan, were recently picked as repre- sentatives of theYoung Leader program, which devel- ops leadership skills in agriculture.

Hugh said the training is designed to develop each person's leadership style and how to lead other people and get the most out of them. "There is no right style," said Hugh. "To get the most from everybody you have to recognize differ- ent style. "It's a great opportunity for networking and alot of it can be used on your own farm," he added.

There is no increased risk of heart problems in those with one kidney compared to those with two. Live kidney donation is a most generous and unselfish act. PSA tests are used to determine the health of the male prostate gland. Elevated readings could signify the presence of cancer in the prostate.

In Holland, there has been a five-year extension to experimental marijuana program. It is prescribed for many situations of intense pain.
