Leadership development has long been claimed as a goal and product of the vocational agriculture program. In fact, one of the six objectives of vocational and technical education in agriculture is "to develop the abilities needed to exercise and follow effective leadership in fulfilling occupational, social, and civic responsibilities" (Objectives..., 1976).
