History

The Foundation, originally formed by alumni of the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) College of Agriculture, was organized in 1976.

Since then, it has awarded over $1,000,000 in scholarships and grants: to students at UNR and other accredited universities; to FFA and 4-H youth groups; for research grants; to support historical writings and other books and white papers relative to Nevada agriculture; and to sponsor various seminars and other educational activities for working farmers and ranchers in Nevada.
