Every year on the first day of spring, America celebrates National Agriculture Day. It is a day to show farmers and ranchers just how important they are to this nation. This is a day where "we honor agriculture for providing safe, abundant, and affordable products, a strong economy, a source of renewable energy, and a world of job opportunities."
There is also a weeklong celebration, which started in 1973 by the Agricultural Council of America. For more information, visit the following site:
