It is nearly one of my favorite days of the year, National Ag Day! This year, on March 21st, the United States recognizes National Ag Day to bring attention to and celebrate the important role agriculture plays in our daily life. The National Ag Day program encourages every American to understand how food, fiber and renewable resource products are produced, value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy, appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant and affordable products, and to acknowledge and consider career opportunities in the agriculture, food, fiber and renewable resource industries.
