Mallory Sutherland (Bakersfield, CA) Fall 2023 School: CSU Fresno Major: Agribusiness Ag education sparked my interest in serving others as a leader. The tight-knit community of the California ag industry works together as a team to deliver food to the tables of families across the
globe. Advocacy is crucial for the ag industry to flourish in today’s society. As an advocate, I can give insight to those who are misinformed on ag issues. I will be one of the advocates who, one day at a time, helps the world realize that the ag industry is essential in life. Creating a world that is ag literate makes the world a better place.

Erika VanderMaarl (Visalia, CA) Fall 2023 School: Texas Tech University Major: Agribusiness I plan to pursue a career in ag real estate, where I will be able to efficiently communicate with clients while being the middleman. I want to build close,
trusting relationships with clients, both inside and outside the business world. Building these relationships will allow clients to trust me to make the right decisions. I want to build up communities with farmland to give people more jobs and opportunities to succeed in life. All people in the community will benefit from these business deals, and I believe that I will be able to accomplish these things in any community.
