The future is upon us

Each year, CCA recognizes graduates from agriculture programs at each of California’s major university agriculture programs. The following students were nominated and selected by their university professors for their standout performances during their undergraduate career.

Not only has each of these 2023 graduates excelled in the classroom, they have also went above and beyond by seeking involvement in their school’s extracurricular opportunities. Most importantly, each of these students has plans to continue on to a career still directly related to the beef industry.

CCA members should be pleased to see the future of our industry being so dedicated to their cause and to the agricultural way of life. CCA extends congratulations to the class of 2023 for the perseverance they have shown in working to obtain an education!
