"On Wednesday, February 22nd, the Young Farmers Club hosted their second meeting of the semester! We met in the ACE Pavilion at 6:30 PM to serve a quesadilla dinner before we moved into our business portion where we went over past and upcoming events going on throughout the department. Once we adjourned our meeting we moved straight into our musical chairs activity. We played two rounds and our final winner was Lalanie Brace! Thank you to all who attended our Musical Chairs meeting, we hope you enjoyed your time and see you next month!"

"On February 8^th and 9^th, we had the pleasure of hosting the AgTech Summit and a student breakfast with none other than Karen Ross, Secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture. At the ACE Pavilion industry professionals, local educators, and agriculture students alike came together to learn about where the industry is headed as it evolves with the integration of advanced technology. In bringing many people together, the attendees had the opportunity to exchange perspectives and insights with the Secretary, which was especially unique for the students and aspiring ag leaders. MJC had Sienna Davies—Young Farmers Secretary—and I on the panel to represent aspiring ag students at the collegiate level; sharing our backgrounds was a nice experience, but having our secretary ask us to talk about our perspectives on agriculture today showed how much she cares about us young people. As the agricultural field continues to endure new challenges, she reminded us how we can’t forget about teaching the generations coming up—they’re the future, simply put."
