March 19; National Agriculture Day

From Legacy Coop

National Ag Day is a time when producers, agricultural associations, corporations, universities, government agencies and countless others across America gather to recognize and celebrate the abundance provided by American agriculture.

The National Ag Day program believes that every American should:

1. understand how food, fiber and renewable resource products are produced.
2. value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy.
3. appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant and affordable products.
4. acknowledge and consider career opportunities in the agriculture, food, fiber and renewable resource industries.

Agriculture provides almost everything we eat, use and wear on a daily basis, and is increasingly contributing to fuel and other bio-products.
