Ag One Community Salute
In 1979, several faculty, alumni and friends of the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and
Technology had a million-dollar idea – to start a foundation that would benefit, promote and
support the college and its programs. The supporters set out to raise $1 million in endowed
funds. Today, the Ag One endowment fund is comprised of over 100 named funds totaling
approximately $17 million.
One of the programs that has contributed to this success is the Community Salute. Since
1987, the Community Salute has honored extraordinary individuals for their devoted service
to California agriculture and food systems industries as well as unwavering commitment to
our community.
We are delighted to honor Mr. Antonio “Tony” Campos in 2015. Guided by his traditional
values, Campos continues to exceed in the agriculture industry while maintaining an
active role in supporting his community which makes him an undeniable recipient of this
recognition. Proceeds will establish the Ag One – Antonio “Tony” Campos endowment
to support deserving students and/or programs in the Jordan College at California State
University, Fresno.
Over the years, donors, board members and volunteers have made it possible to award some
3,500 students with over $2.5 million in scholarships and grants. For the current academic
year, Ag One will provide approximately $500,000 to deserving students and programs.
Honoring Antonio “Tony” Campos
Ag One cordially invites you to join us,
Bank of the West and other generous
sponsors to honor Tony Campos. Born
in Orondritz, Spain, located in the northern Basque region,
Tony immigrated to the United States at the age of 17 and
became a sheepherder. Four years later, he and his older
brothers, Esteban and Fermin, started farming vineyards
near Caruthers. In 1971, they started growing almonds,
and today the company stands as an industry leader in
almond production and processing.
He still lives on the original farm with his wife, Juliet,
where they work side-by-side with their three children,
Jeannine, Joseph and Steven, in the operation. Together,
they manage all aspects of the company with the same
passion and family values that were established with Tony
and his brothers.
Tony has been an active leader in the agricultural
community, serving on several volunteer organizations.
He has served on the Almond Board of California, Raisin
Bargaining Association, Raisin Administrative Committee,
National Farmers Organization, California Bean Advisory
Board and Fresno County Farm Bureau to name several.
Tony and the Campos family have continuously
supported Ag One and the Jordan College.
Additionally, their philanthropic support extends
throughout the community including various medical,
religious, educational and agricultural organizations
such as Valley Children’s Hospital, Catholic Charities
Diocese of Fresno, Basque Cultural Center and
Caruthers High School.
Join us on July 31 to celebrate Mr. Campos and his
commitment to premier agricultural production and
the community.
