While March 21 was National Ag Day – a day to celebrate the less than two percent of the population who provide food, fiber and fuel to all of us, this whole week is set aside to celebrate agriculture.

National Ag week is a chance to recognize and show appreciation for all farmers do.

American agriculture is the foundation of the country.

It’s the backbone of a healthy and prosperous nation, made possible by the hard work of America’s farms and farm families.

These individuals have been essential since the very beginning, and just like everyone, the past few years have presented many challenges, but thankfully, farmers have continued steadfastly toward ensuring have food on the table and clothes to wear.

That’s why, this year especially, National Ag Week is celebrated as a chance to honor those who deserve to be praised every day for what they do. Join the celebration all of “National Ag Week” (March 19-25), when folks across the country will be celebrating agriculture.
