Borgic Farms is continuing its commitment to developing future leaders in the pork industry after members of the Borgic Bridge to Development team recently attended the inaugural Team Lead Course in Springfield, Illinois.
According to Borgic Farms, the two-day leadership and communication training focused on strengthening communication styles, employee development, and relationship building across the swine industry. The company shared that continuing education and leadership growth remain a priority as agriculture works to prepare the next generation of pork industry leaders.
The course was organized through Ag Leadership Partners, a program focused on leadership development and workforce engagement in agriculture. Borgic Farms highlighted the value of bringing people from across the industry together to network, collaborate, and build stronger professional relationships that can help support the future of pork production.
Borgic Farms also praised Ag Leadership Partners and facilitator Shonda for creating a program designed to strengthen leadership skills within agriculture and animal agriculture businesses. The company noted that leadership development programs like this can play an important role in helping the pork industry continue to grow while preparing future team leaders and managers.
The Illinois-based pork production company shared that participants are already looking forward to future opportunities connected to the course, including the possibility of Spanish-language versions to help reach and develop even more employees working in agriculture and pork production.
Borgic Farms has long been recognized for its leadership and involvement within the swine industry. The family-owned operation continues to remain active in pork promotion, leadership, and agricultural education efforts throughout Illinois and across the United States.
As workforce development and employee retention continue to be major topics in agriculture, programs focused on communication, leadership, and team culture are becoming increasingly important for pork producers and agricultural businesses nationwide.
This is another example of how pork producers are investing not only in their farms and livestock operations, but also in the people helping lead the future of the U.S. pork industry.
