In 2014, the Local Government Unit of Maria Aurora, Aurora through its municipal corn coordinator, Ms. Rowena Calip, established the Maria Aurora Farmer Scientists Association or MAFSA in Brgy. Decoliat together with the DA and Agricultural Training Institute (ATI). The MAFSA is composed of corn farmers in the community. After this, the corn farmers within the organization started to attend training activities. “Dahil sa pagtatag ng MAFSA, natulungan ang bawat miyembro at nagkaroon sila ng makinarya na magagamit sa kanilang pagmamaisan,” shared Ms. Calip. The association currently has 57 members in Maria Aurora.
