A huge thank you to for hosting our students today! 🍚 It was a great experience to see your sustainable farming practices and learn more about how your operations run. Our students gained valuable insights into the rice industry, and of course, we loved sampling those delicious rice cakes! 😋

Great job, Joe!

Congratulations to Butte College and Gridley High School student Joe Schohr. Joe earned the top spot at last week's National FFA Creed Speaking Leadership Development Event in Indianapolis.

"The FFA Creed talks about the morals and values of agriculturists, and I have been raised with those values my whole life. Being able to take those ideas and speak at the national level was a huge honor."

Meet Nick Esteve! His family owns Capex, an almond and walnut company that ships internationally! He was kind enough to give us a tour of the factory and share how the Butte College Ag Business Department has helped him towards reaching his goal. Nick loves how the classes for Butte College Ag is specifically targeted towards his interests as someone going into this department. We are excited to see where Capex will go in the future with Nick!
