YF "Friendsgiving" Meeting Recap
The MJC Young Farmers Club kicked off the holiday season with our December meeting! Students got festive by wearing Ugly Christmas Sweaters, with the best sweater winning a prize. Non-perishable food items were collected to help those in need. These donations will be given to United Samaritans in Turlock to be distributed. Meeting attendees were also able to enjoy a Christmas dinner cooked by Mr. Amaral with assistance from the Young Farmer Officer Team. New topics of discussion during the business meeting included the Agstravaganza, Club updates, and officer elections. The fourteen officer candidates for the Spring 2022 Officer Team were introduced. Club members can vote by following the link sent to their school email. Voting ends December 3rd. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the last meeting of 2021!

AgStravaganza presented by Ag Sales
On Tuesday the 1st, AGEC 280 hosted its annual Ag-Stravaganza, a pop-up shop allowing students to put their marketing skills to the test and sell their own products and treats. There were 14 vendors in total and great foot traffic bringing in over 100 guests. Big thank you to Nick Tobin and the Nursery Crew for letting us set up in front of the greenhouse along with our Crops Unit for selling broccoli. Looking forward to next year!
