For students involved in agriculture, Yosemite Farm Credit contributes
to scholarships each year. At Modesto
Junior College, we annually give $1,000 for the Will Merriam
Award to the Outstanding Freshman Student. At Merced College,
we also annually give $1,000 for agricultural scholarships.
In addition, Yosemite also donates a $500 annual scholarship
to the Stanislaus County Division 2 FFA Project Award Competition
and $250 for the Stanislaus County Division 1 FFA Project Award
Competition.
Yosemite Farm Credit is heavily involved with the county fairs including the
Los Banos May Day Fair, Tuolumne County Fair, Merced Fair,
and the Stanislaus County Fair. Yosemite not only contributes
financially to support 4H and FFA with their projects, but
the employees are also present to support the young exhibitors
with a barbecue and with a wine and cheese social for animal
buyers.
Support is also given to the many marketing and industry
associations both financially and through help donated by
Yosemite Farm Credit employees. Yosemite has supported the
Almond Board of California, the Holstein, Jersey, Brown Swiss
and Guernsey Cattle Associations, Western United Dairymen,
California Cattlemen, California Women for Agriculture, Ag
in The Classroom, California Association of Winegrape Growers,
Canning Peach Association, and the Tomato Growers Association,
just to name a few.
