Award and Assistance Programs

The Foundation supports a broad range of activities relating to agriculture:

Student Support:
The leaders of tomorrow are the students of today. We offer education assistance awards and grants to students attending a college or university while majoring in a subject relating to agriculture. By helping defray the costs of a higher education, it is hoped that the college or university graduate will return to Nevada as a leader in agriculture.

Youth Education Activities:
We offer support to the Future Farmers of America and 4-H groups in such activities as livestock and range judging, student participation in regional and national seminars and conferences. These all help to provide broader educational opportunities and maintain an interest in agriculture.

Research and Development:
We will continue to provide assistance to programs designed to aid in solving the problems of Nevada's rural communities, farmers and ranchers. The Foundation often collaborates with Nevada Cooperative Extension, UNR and the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology & Natural Resources, UNR in an effort to provide research and educational opportunities at the local level.

Agricultural Leadership:
We support individuals engaged in production agriculture for assistance in training and understanding new technologies.

Resource Development:
We will strive to provide facilities, equipment and material for teaching support as well as on-the-job experiences.
