Merced County Farm
Bureau continues proud
tradition of giving back
to community
Merced County Farm
Bureau has a proud history
of giving back to our
local communities through
various donations, participation
in local field days
and scholarship programs.
This year has been no different
and our “Salute
to Ag” is to focus on the
deserving students and
teachers that have worked
hard to achieve successes
in our agricultural community.
Each year, Merced
County Farm Bureau
(MCFB) awards a host of
scholarships to high school
seniors who are continuing
their education in an
BREANNE RAMOS
agriculturally-related
field. This year, we were
able to award 15 scholarships
totaling $11,750. Two
of these students are from
Gustine FFA – seniors
Aubrie Hazan and Madison
Woods. Aubrie has
been very active in various
programs in the community
and Gustine High
School. She plans to attend
Modesto Junior College
and study animal science.
Madison has also been
active in the community
and the California Junior
Livestock Association. She
plans to study agriculture
business and attend Texas
Tech University.
Other students who received
a MCFB scholarship
are Michael Bray and
Hayley Vargas of Atwater
FFA, Haven Christy
of Delhi FFA, Katherine
Horal and Madilyn Slate of
Golden Valley FFA, Isabel
