Amazing American Agriculture

The theme for National Agriculture Day this year reminds me of the learning commercials from Sesame Street – “Sponsored by the Letter A.”

American agriculture is abundant, affordable and AMAZING. You could also add awesome.

This is National Agriculture Week – traditionally celebrated the week before the first day of spring. Ag Day is celebrated on the first day of spring, which is March 20, but the official celebration will be held in Washington DC on Thursday, March 18. It will include coffee with the Secretary of Agriculture at USDA, a luncheon at the Capitol featuring national officers from AFA, FFA & 4-H, and dinner back at USDA with the heads of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees, hosted by the Agriculture Council of America.
