National Ag Week!
Mar. 14, 2008
Did you know that the U.S. Agriculture Industry employs more than 24 million Americans to produce, process, sell, and trade the nation's food and fiber; this represents approximately 17 percent of the total U.S. work force?!
National Agriculture Day occurs every year on the first day of Spring. Join us in 2008 on, or around, March 20th, as we honor agriculture for providing safe, abundant and affordable products, a strong economy, a source of renewable energy, and a world of job opportunities.
It is a good time to reflect on all the traditions and advancements that help make the U.S. agriculture industry second to none!
National Ag Day - March 20, 2008
