The Colors of Agriculture Art Contest celebrates the creativity of Maryland students by showcasing how agriculture is in our daily lives. Each month, a winning piece of student artwork is featured each month alongside highlights of agriculture in action and key ag events happening across Maryland. The June winner is Lillian, a 11th grader from Gaithersburg, Maryland.
MAEF Scholarship
Golf Tournament
Grab your clubs and play for a purpose at the MAEF Scholarship Golf Tournament!
Join us on September 9, 2026, at Oakmont Green Golf Course for a fun day of golf, great food, and supporting the future of agriculture. Every swing helps fund MAEF scholarships for students pursuing careers in ag education and related fields. Thanks to the success of last year’s tournament, MAEF was able to award six scholarships in 2025 to help students continue growing their futures.
