Secretary Ann M. Veneman (3rd from left) and Orion Samuelson (left), who is with Chicago radio station WGN's "U.S. Farm Report," are introduced by Deputy Director of Communications Larry Quinn (standing) to 4-H members Lucas Shivers of Kansas, Marcus Cook of Florida, and Brita Thomas of Minnesota during a March 1 radio interview with farm broadcasters celebrating the 4-H Centennial. The students typify "Leaders of Tomorrow," which is also the name of a new initiative Veneman is promoting, in which adults are encouraged to mentor 4-H students and those enrolled in the Future Farmers of America. The goal of the Leaders of Tomorrow initiative is to inspire young adults by encouraging community involvement, careers in public service, and learning about agriculture.
