National Agriculture Day is March 24, 2020. This will mark the 47th anniversary of National Ag Day which is celebrated in classrooms and communities across the country. The theme for National Ag Day 2020 is "Food Brings Everyone to the Table.”
While events to celebrate National Ag Day in Washington, D.C., have been cancelled, and social distancing makes it difficult to physically be together, it's possible to celebrate agriculture via other avenues and learn about the impact the ag industry has on America.
The National Ag Day program encourages every American to:
-
Understand how food and fiber products are produced
-
Appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant and affordable products
-
Value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy
-
Acknowledge and consider career opportunities in the agriculture, food and fiber industry
