Ron Knight Memorial Scholarship

The Ron Knight Memorial Scholarship is sponsored by the Tehama County Cattlemen in the amount of $2000. Ron Knight was the UCCE Livestock Advisor here in Tehama since 1972 retiring in 1991. Ron and his wife Janice were beloved members of our community, encouraging our 4-H and FFA youth to be involved in agriculture.

The Tehama Cattlemen's association has dedicated this scholarship in Ron's memory upon his passing in May 2000 and has supported the scholarship for the past 21 years.

What is UC Cooperative Extension?

The University of California's 64 Cooperative Extension (UCCE) offices are local problem-solving centers. More than 400 campus-based specialists and county-based farm, home, and youth advisors work as teams to bring the University's research-based information to Californians. UCCE is a full partnership of federal, state, county, and private resources linked in applied research and educational outreach. UCCE tailors its programs to meet local needs. UCCE's many teaching tools include meetings, conferences, workshops, demonstrations, field days, video programs, newsletters and manuals. Thousands of volunteers extend UCCE's outreach, assisting with nutrition and 4-H youth development programs along with Master Gardener, Master Food Preserver, and Master Food Shopper education.

This maintains yield while helping to reduce nitrogen runoff into surface and ground water. Moreover, higher energy costs have increased fertilizer prices. One way to improve the economics of rice production is to estimate tissue N status at critical points in the plant's life cycle. To do this effectively, a rice grower must evaluate large acreages and make management decisions quickly.
