To help nurture the next generation of industry leaders, the Round Table hosts six university students at each Farm Foundation Round Table meeting. Cultivators are selected from a competitive pool of applicants from accredited North American colleges and universities. Students are nominated by their college dean or department head. Each cultivator is assigned a Round Table Fellow, who serves as a mentor during the meeting. Cultivators are expected to participate in all aspects of the meeting and present a key aspect of their studies. 

Special thank you to Jeremy Zwinger, Gregg Doud, Karen Carr, Kanlaya Barr, Mike Seyfert, and Dan Basse for volunteering to be mentors to this class of cultivators.
