About the program:

Through the Funding Future Farmers program, we proudly contribute to the growth and development of our local FFA Chapter with a generous $5,000 donation. Additionally, individual students will have the opportunity to receive awards ranging from $500 to $2,000 for their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects. These awards are specifically designed to cover project costs, ensuring that students can fully engage in their agricultural endeavors without financial burden. But our support doesn't stop there. Participants in the Funding Future Farmers program will also have the chance to gain invaluable insights from successful businesses, farms, co-ops, and members of the Agriculture Council through exclusive events and tours. These experiences not only broaden their understanding of the industry but also provide networking opportunities and real-world exposure.

At Colusa-Glenn Farm Credit, we are committed to financing and supporting every aspect of this vital industry. Join us in nurturing the future of farming through the Funding Future Farmers program.
