Fund for Ag Education
Set up under the direction of the Yuba-Sutter Farm Bureau, the Fund for Ag Education (FAE) was established to raise funds to be distributed or utilized to accomplish the following priorities:
-
To provide funds for ag education in our area.
-
To maintain and administer a scholarship program which directly benefits our local youth.
-
To offer an opportunity for FFA members to apply for and earn their own blue jacket through the Blue Jacket Bonanza Program.
-
To provide direct financial assistance to selected organizations for purposes consistent with our purpose.
-
To offer safety training's and educational workshops for farmers, ranchers and employees at no or reduced cost to Farm Bureau members. This year alone, Farm Bureau members were able to save over $500 by attending our extensive training classes and seminars.
